Detective Constable Thomas Pocock, of Dorset Police, said: “We have liaised with colleagues from the fire service and the current assessment is that this incident was not accidental.
“I would urge anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in the area at the relevant time to please come forward.

“They are described as white, with one wearing a light coloured hooded tracksuit with his hood up and lower part of his face covered, and the other wearing darker clothing with a coat, black trousers and black shoes and holding a phone torch.
“Also, I am keen to hear from nearby residents with doorbell or CCTV cameras or motorists with dashcam who were driving in the area and may have captured relevant footage that might assist our investigation.”
