Small Fire

One fire appliance from Camborne Community Fire Station attended a report of flames seen outside. The fire crew used one hosereel to extinguish a roll of copper wire that had been set alight. Devon & Cornwall Police have been informed.
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.
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.
