ARSONISTS are being blamed for two house fires overnight in Spalding and Holbeach.
One person had to be rescued from a three-storey house in Albert Walk, Holbeach, just before 1am this morning.
Crews from Holbeach, Spalding and Long Sutton helped to give first aid before the person was taken to hospital by ambulance.
The fire resulted in damage to a first floor living room and a garage.
It was extinguished using one hose reel and two sets of breathing apparatus.
Shortly after 2.35am this morning, three more crews were sent to Lansdowne Court in Spalding.
A spokesman for Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue said it resulted in severe fire damage to a sofa, curtains and a section of carpet.
There was also heat damage to a windowsill and frame, and smoke damage to the rest of the flat.
The fire was extinguished using one hose reel and two sets of breathing apparatus.
