The first one happened in Bartle Green in Rosegrove just after 8pm. Crews used a hosereel to extinguish the flames.

Eight hours later, at 4-45am, crews were called to Wynotham Street to reports of a rubbish fire but when they arrived on the scene they discovered it was a car fire.

Police are now investigating both incidents which are being treated as arson.
