FIREFIGHTERS tackled a garden shed on fire in the early hours in Weston-super-Mare.

At 00.28 last night three fire crews from Weston-super-Mare Fire Station were called to a fire at a property off Brue Close where a garden shed was found to be well alight when firefighters arrived on scene.

The fire was found to be affecting a part of the domestic property next to the shed.

Firefighters used a high pressure hose reel and a main jet to deal with the fire of which the cause is thought to be deliberate.

Crews remained on scene for 20 minutes afterward to ensure the fire was out and left the scene at around 1.20am.
