Arsonists risked lives in the early hours of this morning after setting fire to rubbish outside someone's Coventry home.

Bin bags piled up outside a semi-detached house in George Park Close, Wood End, were set ablaze shortly before 1am.

The fire spread to the eaves and the guttering of the house before the neighbours noticed the flames and alerted the emergency services.

One fire engine raced to the scene to extinguish the blaze and nobody was hurt.
