A BEACH blaze which was started days after a coastal village was hit with several arson attacks in one night was started deliberately. Essex firefighters were called to Beach Way, Jaywick, shortly after 7.30pm on Wednesday following reports of a fire on the seafront. Upon arrival they found what residents believe to have been a pile of waste and wood which had been torched not far from the water. After working on quelling the fire for roughly half an hour, the crews managed to safely extinguish the blaze by 8pm. A spokeswoman for the Essex County Fire and Rescue Service said it is being treated as arson.
