A shed fire which spread to nearby fencing and the roof of a commercial may have been started deliberately, firefighters believe.
Crews were called out to the blaze which happened shortly after midnight in Croasdale Place, Cleator Moor.
Firefighters also called in the police as they believed it may have been arson.
The fire crew used a hose reel jet to extinguish the flames.
