Firefighters tackle two car fires started deliberately - and one spreads to South Cambridgeshire field

A car fire in Orchard Drive, Cottenham, is believed to have been started deliberately.

Fire crews from Cambridge and Ely were called at 10.51pm on Sunday (11 August) and returned to their stations by 12.15am on Monday.

Two days earlier, a car was deliberately set on fire in Brook Road in Thriplow, which spread to field stubble.

Crews from Cambridge were called at 10.57pm on Friday and used hose reels and beaters to extinguish the fire, returning to their stations by 12.56am on Saturday.

Anyone with information about either fire should contact police via cambs.police.uk or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Meanwhile, firefighters from Cambridge were also called to an accidental car fire on the M11 northbound at Hauxton at 7.58pm on Saturday.
