The Echo have reported on the repeated arson in a small block of flats in Worcester Drive, Rayleigh.
A BABY girl was taken to hospital after her buggy, which was left in a stairwell, was targeted by arsonists.

The 16-month-old, who was sleeping upstairs, was treated in A&E, while an eight-year-old girl suffered smoke inhalation following the early-morning fire at a block of six flats in Worcester Drive, Rayleigh.
.
Ground-floor residents managed to flee their homes in their pyjamas while those on the upper two floors went to their balconies to escape the thick, black smoke.
.
It was the seventh time in just two-and-a-half weeks arsonists have struck at the estate, which contains four small blocks of flats.
Obviously it’s a frightening situation.
