Hide AdA spokesman for Ashfield Fire Station, in Kirkby, said: “There were several seats of fire indicating deliberate ignition.
“These fires put peoples life at risk as fire appliances are allocated to this incident, they also destroy habitats for wild animals and cost a significant amount of money.
“When you get caught for deliberate fire setting, a criminal record can have a significant impact on later life, job prospects, travel etc may all be limited.”
