Woman with black dog asked to come forward as Parkgate wildfire investigation gathers pace

A week on from the Parkgate wildfire and detectives are still seeking help to investigate the causes of the blaze which covered 500 square metres of marshland.

Cheshire Police are appealing to members of the public for information which could help them ascertain the cause and nature of the fire, which they are treating as an act of arson. Three teenage boys, one aged 14 and two aged 13 were arrested on suspicion of arson on Monday, though were released on conditional bail by Tuesday.

The police are keen to hear from a woman who was walking her black dog in the area and spoke to a group of teenagers shortly before the fire took place at 6.20pm last Saturday. They also want to speak to a man and woman who were in Parkgate at the time and are believed to have spoken to a group of teenagers and taken photographs.
