A TRUCK FIRE at a "[DC depot in Lancashire is being treated by the police as suspected arson.
Police confirmed this week that the fire at the Longridge depot earlier this month is believed to have been started deliberately.
The blaze, which destroyed a 40ft curtain-sided trailer, caused the fire brigade particular concern because it occurred near to potentially hazardous oxygen gas cylinders. Even though these were empty, firefighters were worried enough to close the road alongside the depot.
Mark Woods, TDG's Longridge depot manager, says: "Indications suggest this fire was started deliberately by intruders and the police have launched an investigation."
