Family home in Bristol destroyed after suspected arson attack
A car caught fire and the blaze spread to the house
Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for witnesses, information and any footage after a fire in Oldbury Court Road, Fishponds, Bristol, destroyed a family’s home.
Emergency services were called to the scene at about 3.20am yesterday (Saturday 30th).
While a fire investigation has yet to be completed, police are investigating the fire as arson.
A car caught fire and the blaze spread to the house.
Officers, fire investigators and crime scene investigators are carrying out enquiries in the area.
Detective Sergeant Jeremy Cowburn said: “There were three young children in the house at the time of the fire. It doesn’t bear thinking about what could have happened, but thankfully everyone is safe, although the family home is uninhabitable.
“If you have any information, especially if you have any relevant dashcam or other footage, we need to hear from you.”
