TWO storage containers caught fire during a suspected arson attack in Little Lever.
Fire crews were called to a patch of open land off Meadow Close at 5.15am today and spent an hour tackling the blaze.
A Fire Service spokesman said the fire began in two wheelie bins and spread to two 40ft-long shipping containers that are being used as storage containers for sports equipment.
An investigation is underway into whether the fire was started deliberately.
