Another fire in High Green A BLAZE at a property on Sheringham Close last Wednesday was just the latest in a string of fires in High Green with local residents suspecting a serial arsonist being responsible. The fire was deliberately started on Wednesday evening with a mattress wedged between a shed and a fence being set alight. The fire was spotted by a neighbour who saw the flames from his kitchen window. He called the fire brigade who eventually managed to get the incident under control but not before the shed, fence and a play house were seriously damaged. The resident of the house attacked told Look Local: “We were actually out when the fire started, we’re really lucky that the fire didn’t spread to the house. We did have some dogs at home when it happened.
A shed and decking were destroyed in the fire, the latest in a string of blazes in High Green
“Excellent”
“We had all kinds of things in the shed, including some camping stuff. A couple of gas canisters exploded and something flew out and smashed a window. There was a larger gas canister in there too but luckily
it was taken out before it went up.” Look Local reported on a number of fires in the are earlier in the year, including a uninhabited bungalow that was set fire to with a mattress. There have also been a number of wheelie bins set on fire. “I’m not sure if the mattress was already there or not, it’s just a nightmare really coming home and finding that. I’ll have to get a skip at the end of the week and clear it up the best I can. If it is one person doing all this they need to be stopped before someone gets killed. “We thought it might have been a personal attack at first which was really worrying but it seems it was just at random.” Have you been affected by fires in High Green? Contact Look Local on news@looklocal.org. uk with your story. A meeting has been called to discuss the arsons in the area. It takes place on Sunday October 15 at Angram Bank Pavilion from 5pm to 6pm.
