FIREFIGHTERS were called out last night to tackle a third suspected arson incident at Woolston Park, Warrington.

Shortly before 7:15 pm one crew from Birchwood was called out to reports of a fire in the park on Somerset Way, Woolston.

Firefighters used a water backpack to put out a small fire involving bin bags and a wooden pallet, believed to have been set alight deliberately.

Anyone with information about who might have started the fire should call Cheshire Police on 101.

It is the third suspected arson incident at the park within a week.

It’s unbelievable that Somerset way in woolston has had the one quarter of it re surface redone from Hillock lane to Monroe close that wasn’t as bad as the rest down to Brickhirst way. Great planing. Also it could do with speed bumps as its a rat run ,and busy at school run times
