Overnight wheelie bin fire being treated as suspicious
An overnight wheelie bin fire that saw crews scrambled to the scene is being treated as suspicious.
Preston Fire Station received the call around 12.10am of what was originally described as a building fire in Heywood Road.
The station sent two fire engines to the blaze - which turned out to be in wheelie bins and discarded rubbish.
A spokesman said: "We sent two fire engines there to extinguish the fire but only ended up needing a hose reel."
Firefighters were on the scene for around 25 minutes.
Investigations are ongoing.
