A FIRE that caused £10,000 worth of damage to Falkirk's Islamic Centre is thought to have been started deliberately.
Officers are investigating the cause of the blaze in the doorway of the Burnhead Lane premises, but don't believe it to have been an accident.
The fire was discovered at around 2.30 a.m. on Monday by a Muslim taxi driver, who then raised the alarm.
The Fire and Rescue Service attended, but the the blaze was extinguished before they arrived.
Islamic Centre member Shoeb Farooqui made the call to the emergency services after the taxi driver alerted him.
Mr Farooqui said the man, who did not wish to be named, saved the centre from burning to the ground.
"He normally works the night shift and was visiting the centre for a night prayer,'' Mr Farooqui explained.
''He just opened the door and saw the fire – it was in the early stages and if he hadn't gone there at that time it could have burned down the whole building

10,000 pounds worth of damage from a fire that was small enough to be put out by some dozy taxi driver?

My bloody arse. This has "Insurance fiddle" written all over it.

They have to get used to the idea that accidents happen.

The paint bubbling in the sun is NOT neccissarily a "racist attack". That goes for the Police as well.
