Stanningley fire crew has responded to a deliberate bin fire at Bramley Park, for the second time in a week.
A local dog walker called the Fire and Rescue Service after seeing a wheelie bin smoking in the wooded area, at the top of the park today.
After extinguishing the fire, a Stanningley fire fighter said: “People don’t realise, they are putting people’s lives in danger.
“Whilst we are dealing with deliberate arson attacks, our help could be delayed in a real emergency situation.”
Unfortunately arson attacks at the park are becoming more frequent, especially over the summer months.
If you are worried about a young person who has set a fire, or shown an unhealthy interest in fire, West Yorkshire Fire Service’s youth intervention education programme can help.
