Firefighters were at the park near Brookside Methodist Church yesterday afternoon after being called twice between 12.30pm and 1.30pm, as well as at around 4.30pm on Sunday, with grass having been left to burn.

All three fires were started deliberately.

A Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said firefighters also attended seven fires in and around Fulbridge Road last year, mainly in July and one in September.
