A PLUME of grey smoke billowed from a 'suspicious' fire at a home in a city estate.
Fire crews contacted the police who believe the blaze in the garage of a home in Essex Close, Dines Green, is arson.
A Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "Three crews - two from Malvern and one from Worcester fire stations - were called at 4.11pm on May 12 to a building fire in Essex Close.
"A garage was well alight and extinguished using two hosereel jets, a triple extension ladder, small gear and a thermal imaging camera.
"There were no casualties but police attended due to the suspicious nature of the fire."
A West Mercia police spokesperson said: "The fire is being treated as arson and an investigation is on-going."
