A fire which started in a motorcycle spread to a car, another motorcycle, and a house in Fishponds in the early hours of yesterday.

Two fire engines from Speedwell fire station were called to New Station Road to reports of two motorcycles and a car on fire at about 12.56am.

When they arrived they found that the blaze was beginning to penetrate a nearby building containing two flats.

They used hose reels to extinguish the fire and to stop it from spreading to the flats.

The two people within the flats were asked to stay inside until the blaze was under control.

The blaze caused damaged to the building's windows, but there was no fire or smoke damage and no one was hurt.

It is believed that the fire was started deliberately and police have been informed.
