Kirklees house fire: Family jumps from windows in arson attack
Det Supt Mark Swift said:"This is clearly a very serious incident in which a male has suffered burn injuries and three females have also suffered smoke inhalation.
"It took place at a time of night when a family were at home sleeping and could quite easily have had fatal consequences for those inside. "We are treating this incident as an attempted murder and I am appealing to members of the public for information."Det Supt Swift said it was likely the attackers were also injured and anyone with information - particularly about men or boys buying petrol in cans from garages - should call 101.
"It is quite possible the suspects will have suffered some injuries as a result of lighting the fire and I would like to speak to anyone who has information about males having turned up at home this morning with burns," he said. Police also want to hear from anyone who saw suspicious behaviour, or who has CCTV images of the area.
