Firefighters are investigating a blaze at two semi-detached properties used as office space in Stoke Gifford yesterday.

Crews from Patchway and Southmead were called to the fire just after 1am in Hunts Ground Road.

The office space was "well alight" when firefighters arrived. Four firefighters with breathing apparatus used hose reels to extinguish the blaze.

It is believed the fire, which damaged the ground and first floors, was burning for some, and spread between the two properties.

Avon Fire and Rescue service said it is believed the fire was started deliberately.
