Crew Manager Nick Abbott from Brampton fire station said: "For the second night running our firefighters have dealt with a number of bin fires in the same area.

"These type of fires not only take our resources away from potentially life-threatening incidents, they could also quite easily develop into much more serious fires if they spread to cars and houses."
