A POLICE officer has condemned a series of senseless arson attacks in a coastal village which "put people’s lives in danger." Crews from the Essex Fire Service were called to Jaywick several times between 10pm on Sunday and 7.30am on Monday. During that period firefighters extinguished fires in Alvis Avenue, in which a trailer full of wood and rubbish was torched, and blazes in Hillman Avenue and Riley Avenue. In Bentley Avenue, at about 10.20pm on Sunday, a sofa also went up in flames before then spreading to a fence and trellis at a nearby home. The house itself then caught fire and insulation inside the wall was set alight while a 46-year-old woman was inside.
