A crew from St Austell Community Fire Station attended to multiple calls of a bin on fire in a car park. One hose reel jet was used to extinguish the fire and Police also attended this 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.

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's also a significant cost to each incident.
