FIREFIGHTERS from Penarth station were called to deal with, what is thought to be, a ‘deliberate’ fire at a privately-owned garage near Headlands School in Penarth yesterday evening.
The fire took place at St Augustine’s Crescent, despite previous reports the fire happened at the school.
Pictures taken of the fire show significant damage caused to the garage.
A South Wales Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said: “At approximately 6.31pm on Thursday the 23rd of July, 2020, we received reports of a fire on Augustines Road, Penarth.
“Crews from Penarth station attended the scene and extinguished the fire.
“The incident concluded at approximately 7.44pm.
“The supposed cause of the fire is believed to be deliberate."
