AN investigation is underway into a suspected arson attempt in a household wheelie bin.
The incident happened at around 6am in the back garden of a house in Lark Street in Burnley.
Fire crews attended the incident following a 999 call which raised worries the blaze could have spread to the house.
However firefighters attended and extinguished the blaze to confine it to the bin in the garden.
A fire service spokesman said: "The fire was started deliberately.
"We are currently investigating who could have caused it."
