FIRE fighters tackled a blaze in a lay by on the A47 last night after a pile of rubbish was deliberately set alight.
A fire crew from Wisbech was called to the blaze on the A47 Wisbech Bypass.
A fire service spokesman said the crew arrived at 11pm and took less than 30 minutes to deal with it.
“A large amount of rubbish was on fire in a lay-by,” said the spokesman.
“They used hose reels to extinguish the fire and returned to their stations by 11.30pm.
“The cause of the fire is believed to be deliberate.”
Anyone with information should contact the police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
