An appliance from Tolvaddon Community Fire Station responded to a call reporting of fire seen in the distance. On arrival the crew found a large quantity of rubbish on fire. Crews used one hose reel to extinguish the fire. This incident has also been reported to the Police.
Anyone with information on fires being deliberately started in the countryside 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.
