Having spent two days earlier this week tackling a large peat fire, which was started by natural causes, crews were back at Lindow Peat Bog on Thursday, 14th June.
One fire engine each from Poynton, one from Macclesfield and one from Wilmslow attended, along with a special appliance from Bollington, at 6.25pm - just three hours after crews had left the scene having spent 48 hours dealing with a deep seated fire covering approximately 150 metres by 40 metres.
They tackled a fire involving four piles of peat, covering an area of around six square metres, which is believed to have been started deliberately.
Three main jets and a hose reel were used to bring the blaze at the peat farm under control. A thermal imaging camera was then used to check there were no hotspots that could reignite.
Firefighters were in attendance for around two hours and 20 minutes.
If you have any information about the fire then please contact Cheshire Police on 101, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
