And hopefully they get the rest of the barstards that are floating around at the moment

Not sure if this is the same guy, but I was in Midland yesterday and tuned in when I heard the fire trucks racing about. A person of particular description lit two fires on Morrison Rd near Midland Gate witnessed by several people, then lit another fire at a bin in Midland Centerpoint shops.

Spooky - I was in Midland yesterday too but didn't hear a thing! Didn't have a scanner with me though.

Another one bites the dust

Definatley disgusting how people can do this-and the fact you have both paid and unpaid professionals who have to attend to put out these fires and be at risk of being injured or killed its mind boggling-but yes definatley agree strong penatlies are needed !!!
