Investigation underway following fire at a house in Killamarsh

An investigation is underway following a fire at a property in Killamarsh in the early hours of this morning (Monday 13 May).

We attended Beech Crescent just after 4.35am this morning, and the fire is believed to have started from a car and spread to the building.

Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service dealt with the fire. No one is understood to have been trapped in the building and no injuries were reported.

At this time we are treating the fire as suspicious and would like to hear from any witnesses, anyone in the area, or with CCTV or dashcam footage from around the time of the incident.
