A VAN was burnt out in what is suspected to have been a deliberate fire.

Firefighters from Shipley were called to playing fields next to Gaisby Lane, off Canal Road, at 5am. 

A West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said it looked as though the van had been abandoned. 

Firefighters used a hose reel to put the blaze out and were at the scene for around 45 minutes.
