A man driven “nuts” by a spate of fires on a moor near Greater Manchester has come up with a plan to catch those responsible.
Paul Baddeley, 67, claims firefighters hailed his solution as “bloody brilliant” after he shared with them. It comes after repeated fires broke out on Marsden Moor in recent weeks.
About 2km of moorland went up in flames on May 3, with three fire engines in and four wildfire units in attendance. A fire on a similar scale broke out last month - believed to have been started by arsonists.
