A fire which broke out a Netherton factory on Wednesday night is being treated as a suspected case of arson.

Firefighters fought back a blaze at a factory in Netherton after a "serious" fire broke out late Wednesday night (August 17).

Six crews from Oldbury, Brierley Hill, Stourbridge, Haden Cross, Tipton and Dudley attended the scene of a factory fire in Halesowen Road.

The incident, which occured at around 9.45pm, saw an aerial platform dispatched as firefighters worked to prevent the fire from spreading.

Road drivers were warned to avoid the area after Halesowen Road to the crossroads with Saltwells Road was closed due to the factory fire.
