ARSONISTS kept Slaithwaite fire crews busy last night.

At 10.15pm, the firefighters went to the moors at Buckstones, near Scammonden, to deal with a car fire.

The vehicle had been stolen and set alight.

While the firefighters were returning from the callout, they discovered a skip on fire outside the Silent Woman pub in Nabbs Lane, Slaithwaite.

The fire had been started deliberately.
