A house close to a school and a charity for young adults with learning difficulties was "fire-bombed" in the early hours of Sunday.
Merseyside Police today confirmed a joint investigation between the force and Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) is underway following the incident on Bracknell Avenue, Kirkby. Police received reports of a fire at the terraced house at around 2am on Sunday, April 16.
MFRS had already been called to the property and arrived on the street at 1.59am. Fire crews from three engines used a hose reel jet to extinguish a fire at the front door of the property before handing over the scene to the police shortly after 3am.
