Wiltshire Police has launched an investigation into a house fire in Cricklade last night.

A spokesperson for Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “Crews made the gas safe by isolating it, and extinguished the fire using four breathing apparatus, two hose reels, a covering jet and a safety jet.

“The fire was found to have started in an electrical cupboard under the stairs.”

Police are now probing the incident and have suspicions it was started deliberately.


A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: “Did you see or hear anything or anyone in that area before the fire started?

“If so please can you contact Wiltshire Police on 101 and quote crime reference number: 54200035755.

“Local officers have this morning been conducting house to house enquiries and CCTV enquiries.”
