A MAN was forced to flee his home at Warrington during the night after an arson attack.
The blaze was at a house in Statham Avenue, Orford.
A wheelie bin was pushed against the back door and set alight. Flames spread to the door and the house was filled with dense, black smoke.
Fortunately a smoke alarm activated and alerted the sole occupant who escaped unhurt.
Fire crews tackled the blaze with a hosereel jet and cleared smoke from the property with a ventilation unit.
Police are investigating.
