A MAN has been arrested following an arson attack in Padiham last night.
Fire crews from Padiham, Burnley and Accrington stations raced to Ingham Street at around 6pm after receiving reports of a house fire, with people trapped inside.
The fire, which was started deliberately, engulfed the terraced house, and the flames reached as far as the roof of the property.
