A BOTTLE containing a lit rag was thrown at a house in North Worle, Weston-super-Mare last month.
The incident, which is being treated as arson by police, took place in Ingleton Drive at around 9pm on November 18.
The bottle hit a window before falling onto the ground outside, causing a small fire to start on the grass.
The occupants were able to put the fire out, and no significant damage or injury was caused.
Police said there were children in the house at the time.
