Heard there had been a spate of attacks around East Stanley over the weekend.
A man has been arrested in connection with a spate of suspected arson attacks in County Durham.
Five fires were started on the Poets Estate in Stanley between 03:00 and 05:00 GMT on Saturday.
An 84-year-old woman is said to be in a stable condition in hospital after suffering from the effects of smoke inhalation.
A 26-year-old man from the Stanley area has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of arson.
Supt Kerrin Smith said: "Fortunately no-one was more seriously injured in these attacks, but it could have been much worse.
"We are asking that people remain vigilant, both for themselves but also on behalf of their neighbours, and that they report any concerns to police immediately."

When I was there in the summer I had to walk to the main street to catch my X21 to get me (partly) back home, and I felt a lot safer than I occasionally do in some places during the day.
I generally find Morpeth and Bedlington better than Ashington and Blyth, Morpeth because it seems quite posh, and Bedlington because of it's quietness compared to the others.

One of the humanities teachers at my school is really posh, born in 'Cambridgeshire' (her words, not mine) and she said when she came up to Newcastle to study history - she picked a house in Jesmond as it seemed sure a nice area.

Thanks Dan.I'll keep an eye out for her. Don't think I've been on 3832 since it was loaned to Chester for a scholars run on the 887 in Y7!

I normally get jam doughnuts in the Co-op or asda, normally 2 packs for £1 or £1.20 and Cadburys do some nice polo* doughnuts but only 2 for £1
*I call Ring Doughnuts Polo because when I was a kid I once commented that a ring doughnut looked like a doughnut version of a polo mint...The daftery and stupidity of being a kid [emoji14]
