FIRE investigators have been called in following a blaze in Winchester last night.

Crews were called to tackle a small fire in a second floor bedsit on City Road, shortly before 9pm.

A spokeswoman for Hampshire Fire and Rescue said because the cause of the blaze at 29 City Road was doubtful the service’s arson task force had been called in to investigate.

She added 12 fire fighters from Winchester were sent to the incident. No one was hurt in the blaze.

Police confirmed they arrested an 18-year-old male at the scene.
