FIRE crews were called to a car on fire in Landseer Park in the early hours of this morning.

One appliance from Ipswich East fire station attended the blaze at 12.30am.

Due to the location of the vehicle and the subsequent difficult access, the police also attended the scene as the fire was believed to have been deliberately lit.

Crews extinguished the fire by 12.57am and were back at their station by 1.49am.
