TWO fire crews were called out to an incident in the early hours in Ellesmere Port.

One fire engine from Ellesmere Port and one from Powey Lane attended the scene in Telford Road at about 1.55am today (Wednesday, November 1).

A spokesperson for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "One garage in a block of four was involved in a fire.

"External firefighting was underway as firefighters in breathing apparatus used breaking in equipment to gain access to the building.

"The crews removed items from the garage and checked the adjacent ones.

"Police were called to attend as it is believed the fire was started deliberately."
