A BLAZE which broke out in a disused building on Winnington Hill is now being treated as a suspected deliberate act.
Fire fighters were called to tackle the fire which was located on the second floor of the abandoned building.
Rubbish has been found at the site, which authorities believe indicates that the fire was started on purpose.
The room where the fire started is badly heat, fire and smoke damaged, and the blaze burnt through the floor.
The fire broke out at 4.40pm yesterday and was successfully put out by Cheshire Fire and Rescue by 5.09pm.
It took two firefireghters wearing breathing apparatus to dampen the flames and smoke has now been removed from the building.
Anyone with information should contact the police anonymously by calling 101.
