A SPATE OF SERIOUS FIRES PROMPTS A STARK WARNING FROM
FIREFIGHTERS
A spate of serious fires in the Orford area of Warrington has prompted a
stark warning from firefighters.
Firefighters are asking residents to be extra vigilant after they were
called to four separate incidents involving cars and homes earlier this morn-
ing (September 23). It is believed that these were all started deliberately.
The first incident was a car fire on Greenwood Close, this took place just be-
fore 5.30am. Within 20 minutes crews were called to a house fire on Grass-
mere Avenue.
Just after 6.23am firefighters were called to the most serious of the inci-
dents a house fire in Linnet Close. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus
used hose reel jets to fight the fire that had developed in the ground floor of
the house.
The three occupiers had to be treated for smoke inhalation. Firefighters
also rescued 10 kittens from the house.
There was also a further fire in a home on Grassmere Avenue. Nobody
was injured in this blaze.
Warrington Station Manager, Paul Jackson, explained: "This was an ex-
tremely serious spate of incidents and could easily have resulted in someone
losing their life. We are working very closely with Cheshire Police to find out
who could be responsible.
"In the meantime we would ask people to be on their guard and report
any suspicious behaviour to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
"We would also encourage people to ensure that all windows and doors are
secure."
Police and firefighters are appealing to the community to come forward
with any information they have which could assist the investigation. Contact
with Cheshire Police on 0845 458 0000.
Alternatively, information can be left anonymously on the Crimestop-
pers hotline 0800 555 111.
Firefighters will be in the area today carrying out Home Safety Assess-
ments to local residents.
26. Write a report about a rescue operation you have participated in (as
a rescuer or as a victim). Consider these questions as a plan.
1. Where and when did it start?
2. What were the reasons of the accident?
3. How quickly did the crew come?
4. What equipment did they use?
