A GARAGE fire in Burnley is being treated as 'suspicious'.

A crew from Burnley and another from Padiham attended the scene on Cardigan Avenue at 6.34pm last night.

A spokesman for Lancashire Fire Service said: "There were some garages on fire but we thought it started in the garage in the middle.

"The garages were separate to any other buildings and it caused damage to the other surrounding garages.

"We are treating the incident as suspicious and police are involved with investigating it.

"There was nobody at the scene and no-one was hurt.

"We were there for about 45 minutes."
