A blaze which badly damaged a flat-bed truck in Bolton Woods, Bradford, is being treated as arson.
Firefighters were called to a parking area behind houses in Mexborough Road at about 2am today.
A West Yorkshire Fire Service spokesman said the blaze was believed to have been started deliberately and police had been informed.
She said: “The van was round the back of the houses in a parking area.
“The van was up against three other cars so it was lucky it did not spread to any of those.”
Firefighters from Idle and Shipley tackled the blaze.
