Arsonists who deliberately started a fire at a derelict building in Lurgan put lives at "extreme risk".

Firefighters attended the property in High Street early yesterday morning at around 4:30am.

A spokesperson for NIFRS said the fire spread quickly because of the building's layout.

Crews from Dromore, and Banbridge, and support units from Lisburn, Belfast and Portadown attended the blaze, with a total of 33 fire fighters.
