AN investigation is underway after a suspected arson attack on a terraced house in Burnley.

Two crew from the town's fire station were called to an empty derelict property in Cog Lane, just before 3.10pm today.

A Lancashire Fire and Rescue spokesman said: "The fire which is believed to have been started deliberately was extinguished using one hose reel jet and two breathing apparatus. No injuries were reported."

County police are understood to have been informed and no other properties were directly involved.
