When the Southam crew was returning from the incident in Bishops Itchington, Warwickshire Fire Control sent them to reports of a fire in the Recreational Park in Southam.

According to the Southam Fire Station Facebook Page the reports said that there were youths setting fires using aerosol cans and that when the crew arrived, the youths ran off.

The fire was out on arrival.

Firefighters are urging people to take care in the hot dry weather because a small fire could catch the grass and spread out of control causing further damage.
