FIREFIGHTERS have hit out at yobs after a series of wheelie bin fires in Burnley.
Crew manager Alan Ashworth warned that the fires can be very serious, after an incident at 7am this morning (THURS) when a blaze spread to a gate and an outhouse in Williams Road.
Mr Ashworth said: "I think these people don't realise the ferocity with which wheelie bin fires can burn.
"The incident in Williams Road could have been a lot worse if it had spread to the property itself."
Three other wheelie bin fires were reported in the town this morning.
