A fire at a family home is being treated as arson.

Firefighters were called to a house in Borage Close in the Broadfield area of Crawley at about 11.45pm on Saturday.

They broke through the front door to douse the blaze. The house was empty at the time.

It is thought fuel had been used to start the fire deliberately.
