One appliance from Bodmin Community Fire Station attended a recycling bin on fire. The crew had to use one hose reel to extinguish the fire. The cause of the fire is suspected arson and the Police have been informed.

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.
