POLICE arrested a delivery driver for drug driving in Warrington yesterday and also attended a domestic incident where they arrested another male for assault and theft.
Police are also warning of an increased number of fires in the open in the Warrington area recently and offer the following Cheshire Fire Service safety advice.
Avoid using open fires in the countryside
Do not leave bottles or glass in woodlands
Keep young children and ball games away from barbecues
Extinguish cigarettes and other smoking materials properly
Only use barbecues in suitable and safe areas and never leave them unattended
Never throw cigarette ends out of car windows – they can ruin whole fields of crops
Ensure that your barbecue is fully extinguished and cold before disposing of the contents
Sunlight shining through glass can start large fires – take glass bottles/jars home or put them in a waste or recycling bin
Please take care when in the countryside and alert the Service to fires as early as possible via 999 calls. An early call could mean the difference between a small, easily controllable fire and a widespread, devastating fire.
