Cars parked nearby had to be moved and the heat from the flames caused damage to a window of the nearest terraced house.

Firefighters were called to the scene on Bleasdale Street at 3.45am, with two fire engines from Preston station attending.

Watch manager Paul Charnley said: "It took us around half an hour to put the fire out.

"Fortunately no one was hurt but we are viewing it as a deliberate fire and police are involved."
