A rubbish fire which spread to two garages was started deliberately, a fire service spokesman said.

A crew from Idle fire station was called to Moorside Road, near the Bradford Industrial Museum in Eccleshill , at 10.20pm on Monday after two walkers spotted smoke pouring from between two domestic garages.

Firefighters arrived to discover that rubbish had been piled up and set alight.

Idle crew commander Alan Ramsay said: “ It did a little bit of damage to the guttering and wooden trim around the roof of the garages.”
