A FENCING panel and two squares metres of bush in Flint were set on fire on purpose, firefighters believe.

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service personnel were called at 4.35pm on Wednesday to reports of a fire in the garden in Julius Close.

A spokesman for the service said: “We sent one appliance and can confirm that a two square metre of bush and a fence panel were damaged in the fire, which we are treating as being deliberate.”

The incident was sorted shortly before 5pm and there were no reports of any injuries.
