York grass fire was deliberate
FIREFIGHTERS say a fire in a York park was started deliberately.
Crews from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to Heworth Holme at just before 4pm on Tuesday.
A spokesman said officers were responding to reports of a pile of grass cuttings which had been set on fire.
The grass was extinguished without injury, and the spokesman said the cause of the fire was believed to have been deliberate.
