A fire at a home in Horsham is believed to have been started on purpose.

Emergency crews were called to Highlands Road just after 7.15pm on Monday, 27 May.

West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service sent three engines to the scene, where a blaze was found in a first floor bedroom.

Firefighters used hose reels, jets and thermal imaging equipment to put it out.
