Appeal over Derby house evacuation fire
A garage fire which forced the evacuation of a Derby house is being treated as suspicious by police.
A police officer spotted smoke coming from a garage on Portland Street on the evening of 28 June and he alerted people in a nearby house to the danger.
Witnesses said two Asian men in hooded tops and jeans were seen running from the area.
Police said they were keen to speak to a man, described as a middle-aged Asian, who spoke to a fire officer.
One of the men seen running away was described as about 6ft (1.83m) tall and about 20 years old.
Any witnesses have been asked to contact police.
