Firefighters had to make their way to an incident in Neston on foot last night (Saturday, July 16) just after 11pm.

The fire in a field involving a hay bale, at Church Lane, was put out using handheld extinguishers.

One fire engine from Ellesmere Port attended the incident, which it is believed was started deliberately.

Anyone with any information about the incident is urged to call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111 or Cheshire Police on 101.
