FIREFIGHTERS yesterday tackled a fire at a house earmarked for demolition.
The house is among 1,500 that Middlesbrough Council plans to demolish in the Gresham area as part of a town centre regeneration scheme.
Two appliances attended the fire, in Gresham Street, pictured, at about 8pm on Wednesday.
Cleveland Police are not ruling out arson, but are awaiting a report from the fire brigade before launching an investigation.
