VANS were torched in what is believed to be a deliberate fire in Buttershaw.

Firefighters were called to Buttershaw Drive at 2.45am this morning.

A West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue spokesman said it was initially reported as a fire in the open, but when firefighters arrived at the scene they found two vans alight outside a house.

One was a tipper van and the other was a small Ford Transit. 

The spokesman said it seemed as though one had been set on fire, which had then spread to the other.

Firefighters stayed at the scene for around 45 minutes, using hose reels and breathing apparatus at the scene. 

Nobody was injured.
