Arson is believed to have been the cause of a fire in Polean Lane, Looe, in the early hours of today.

Firefighters from Looe and Liskeard found a building measuring six metres by 20 metres on fire. Firefighters used two breathing apparatus sets, a thermal imaging camera, one main jet, and a hose reel jet to fight the fire.

Arson was suspected and Devon and Cornwall Police were at the scene.
