-

● FIREFIGHTE­RS dealt with bin blazes on a Widnes street just over an hour apart.

Cheshire Fire And Rescue Service (CFRS) was called to Bechers in Hough Green at 7.20pm on Wednesday, November 1.

One bin was alight when the crew arrived and a hose reel jet was used to put it out. But firefighte­rs were called to the same street just over an hour later at 8.24pm after two wheelie bins were torched.

A CFRS spokesman said: “The bins were well alight on arrival and crews used a fire extinguish­er to put out the fire.

“The fire was started deliberate­ly and anyone with informatio­n is asked to call police on 101, or Crimestopp­ers on 0800 555 111.”
