A fire at a house in Hamilton was started by a group of "drunk hooligans", according to the Fire Service.
The small fire was lit at an unoccupied house in Frankton early Sunday morning.
A Fire Service spokesman told Fairfax that the fire was "small and it was put out".
"There was an attempted arson by a group of drunk hooligans on Bandon Street," he told Fairfax.
They were called to the scene at 2.20am.
