A man from Halifax has been sentenced to a total of 11 years at Leeds Crown Court for setting fire to his own house.
49-year-old Zulfiqar Dad, from Hanson Lane, was found guilty of arson with intent.
He must spend 7 years in custody and the remaining on licence.
Detective Inspector Vicky Lawrance of Calderdale CID said: “Zulfiqar’s actions in deliberately starting the fire in the early hours of the morning on New Year’s day could have easily caused the deaths of his two adult sons.
“Luckily no one was seriously hurt but the consequences of his actions could have been much worse.”
