Firefighters tackle spate of arson attacks overnight
8:48am Friday 22nd June 2012 in Local News
Dozens of firefighters tackled three blazes across the area through the night.
Arsonists torched two cars in Weymouth and a tractor near Tolpuddle, Dorchester.
One car was destroyed while the other and the tractor left severely damaged.
Crews were called at 10.30pm last night to a slip road on the A35 where an abandoned tractor was found to be well alight.
Firefighters tackled a car fire on Lorton Lane at 1.20am and another on Littlemead in Weymouth half an hour later.
Investigations into the three blazes will continue.
A spokesman for Dorset Fire and Rescue said all fires are thought to be deliberate.
