Fire raising on Peninsula

A SERIES of fires have been started around the Rosneath area and the police are to be asked to provide some extra patrols through the village.
The fire brigade had to be called to a huge unattended fire on the beach, a fire was started in the old quarry just outside the village and a fire raiser set fire to the hide at the community nature reserve on the Peaton Hill.
The Rosneath and Clynder Community Council was told that one of their members had called the fire brigade to the fire on the beach which was very close to trees and unattended.
“I heard the kids saying that they had got some petrol and then there was a loud whump and when I looked out there was a huge unattended fire right under the trees.
“I could hear the youngsters calling for someone to bring a wheelie bin down which would have been very dangerous.”
The meeting was also told that a fire had been started at the old quarry and it was agreed to ask for additional police patrols in the area.
