Small Rubbish Fire
West Looe Downs, West Looe at 12/03/2012 17:50
One fire appliance from Looe Community Fire Station attended a report of a fire in bushes.
The crew quickly dealt with a small quantity of newspaper that had been deliberately set on fire. Devon & Cornwall Police have been informed.
Anyone with information on fires being deliberately started are advised to anonymously call Crimestoppers free on 0800 555 111 or contact Devon and Cornwall Police on 101 with information.
Arson puts both the public and firefighters at unnecessary risk. It ties up resources that could be in demand for other more serious incidents. A lot of Cornwall is covered by on-call firefighters so there is also a significant cost to each incident.
