A FIRE in a front garden of a Fenland house melted a plastic window frame after the blaze spread.

Two crews from Wisbech were called to the fire in Field Avenue, Tydd St Giles, at 5.55pm on Friday. Firefighters arrived to find the flames had started to spread to the house.

The crews used two hose reels to extinguish the fire and returned to their station by 7.55pm.

The cause of the fire was thought to be deliberate.
