FIREFIGHTERS arrived at a house fire in Whalley Street, Burnley, to find another house also alight.
As they started to fight the first blaze a neighbour told them that the kitchen of a house on the other side of the street was also in flames.
Sub Officer John Davies said: "Someone had been into both unoccupied houses through the back doors starting fires in the living room of one and the kitchen of the other."
