Firefighters have extinguished two separate deliberate fires along the same street in Stafford.
Crews were called at 2.30am on Easter Sunday (17 April), following initial reports of a garage fire.
Firefighters from Stafford and Stone attended and found a bicycle garage, near Grey Friars, well-alight.
A short time later, crews located a further fire in a metal bin at the opposite end of the street.
Two breathing apparatus and one hose reel jet was used to successfully extinguish both fires by 2.55am.
No-one was reported injured.
A fire investigation has since concluded that both fires were started deliberately.
The incident has been left in the care of Staffordshire Police.
Inquiries are continuing.
