Yesterday, we were called to a fire at a disused building on High Street , Winsford. The fire is believed to have been started deliberately .
We remained at the scene for about 5 hours , and during this time, our resources were tied up, which meant we were unable to attend another incident in Winsford. The main road outside was also partially closed, causing disruption to traffic and the local community.
Deliberate fires are a criminal offence. They put lives at risk, endanger firefighters and members of the public, and can prevent emergency services from responding to genuine emergencies elsewhere.
If you have any information about this incident, please contact Cheshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800555111
