ARSONISTS are thought to have started another blaze at a former sex club in Orford.

Firefighters were called to the derelict building on School Road at 2.40pm on Sunday.

The building, known as Orford Farm, was destroyed in March 2012 after flames ripped through the property but last week the Warrington Guardian reported plans had been submitted to turn it into homes for pensioners.

A Cheshire Fire spokesman said: "A fire involving rubbish which had been set on fire in a derelict property in Warrington required firefighters to attend and used one hose reel jet to extinguish it.

"The fire was on the ground floor of the two storey derelict premises."
