Gardaí in Letterkenny are calling on the public to help investigations into a suspected arson on Sunday.
The alarm was raised on Sunday afternoon at around 12.50pm.
Some furniture was set alight on a spot of wasteland in Killylastin, which is in very close proximity to the Windmill View estate. Gardaí and fire services attended the scene and the blaze was extinguished before it could spread to nearby houses.
Gardaí are now appealing to anyone in the area who may have observed the person/s responsible for lighting the fire to contact 074-9167100 or on the Garda Confidential line on 1800 666 111.
Antisocial behaviour has been been an issue in this particular area of wasteland, gardaí confirmed.
