Fire service says support is available for parents who have concerns
Parents are being urged to remind their children of the dangers of setting fires following a spate of incidents on the Island.
The Isle of Man Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Service have recently seen an increase in the number of fires being started deliberately in abandoned buildings.
Concerned parents can reach out to fire officers if they're worried their child is involved in setting fires, as the service runs an intervention programme designed to educate youngsters.
Fire Prevention Lead David Dallimore says often children who start fires don't mean to cause harm, but don't necessarily appreciate the risks:

Protecting farmers from impact of climate change 'a no brainer'
