An out-house was badly damaged and windows of a nearby house cracked in what is being treated as an arson attack.
Firefighters were called to Bradshaw Street in Nelson shortly before 9pm on Tuesday, and spent over 30 minutes putting out the burning outhouse in the backyard of an empty terrace property.
The heat from the outhouse, which had been filled with rubbish, caused the windows of the property to crack.
