'Deliberate' heath fires probed by fire service

Fire crews are working with police to investigate the cause of a series of fires they believe to be 'deliberate'.

Teams from Peel and Port Erin responded to a heath fire on the approach to Eary Cushlin, Dalby, just before midnight on Friday, June 8.

The Port Erin crew responded to a second fire near the picnic site at the Sloc shortly after, before the Castletown team were called in to deal with a third blaze at the top of the Sloc.

Isle of Man Fire Service believe the fires were deliberately started, and are working with other authorities to track down the culprits.
