Fire crews called to two ‘deliberate’ wheelie bin fires in Eastfield
It was a busy morning on Wednesday, December 31 for Scarborough firefighters.
Shortly after midnight, at 12.38am, a crew from Scarborough responded to a commercial wheelie bin which was on fire on the High Street in Eastfield.
Crews extinguished the fire using one hose reel jet.
The cause was believed to be deliberate.
Less than 35 minutes later, at 1.12am, the Scarborough crew was called into action again, this time to a wheelie bin which was on fire on Link Walk, Eastfield.
Crews extinguished the fire using one hose reel jet.
The cause was again believed to be deliberate.
At 3,16am, a crew from Scarborough responded to reports of a fire alarm sounding on Foreshore Road.
This was caused by a small electrical fire in a light switch in a commercial property, which had spread into the wall.
Crews used small tools to expose the smouldering area and extinguished using a bucket of water.
