A fire was deliberately started in woodlands near Merseyside.
A county councillor for West Lancashire shared the news that a fire had been lit deliberately in Ruff Wood on the East side of Ormskirk. Nikki Hennessy took to Facebook to share the news that she had to call Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service after she spotted the blaze that had been deliberately lit using kindling.
Next to the site of the fire, there was a bag of kindling where people had taken their own wood to the woodlands to start the fire before leaving it to grow. Now the councillor has called for signs to be put up in an attempt to deter similar "senseless" behaviour".
