A fire in a Frizinghall taxi office this morning has been described as suspicious.

Firefighters were called to the offices of Jet Link Private Hire at Shower’s Mill on Frizinghall Road at 5.50am. When they arrived, the fire had already burned itself out. A fire investigation team attended after it was deemed to have been a deliberate blaze.

The offices were heavily smoke damaged and items of furniture were destroyed by the flames.

The office was closed and empty at the time, with staff noticing the fire damage when they opened for the day.

The company is still operating despite the fire.
