Cumbria Police have issued a warning after reports of teenagers starting a fire.
The report came in stating that four young teenagers were starting a fire at the rear of the old Arnside boat house on August, Thursday 1, at around 8pm.
The potential devastating consequences were prevented by the intervention of a local resident.
A spokesperson for Cumbria Police said: "Fires are a danger to people, wildlife, property and the environment. This could have resulted in the fire service being called and someone being injured.
"Starting a deliberate fire needing such services such as fire, ambulances and police, withdraws these vital services from other situations where there is no fault."
They then went on to ask parents to check that your youngsters are aware of the implications of such acts.
Before warning any persons found to be starting fires will be spoken to about the offence and dealt with robustly.
In regards to the incident anyone with information regarding this incident can contact 101 and ask for PCSO Hayley
