RISCA fire crews were called to tackle a blaze at garages on Fairview Avenue at just after 6.20pm on Saturday evening.

Hosereels and breathing apparatus were used to bring the flames under control after smoke was seen billowing from the garage from nearby Holly Road in Risca.

The firefighters left the scene at just after 7pm, and a spokeswoman from the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said the fire was deliberately started.
