    Our firefighters must despair at having to attend these mindless acts of criminality. A total waste of their valuable time and a senseless waste of money, if it is children who are starting these fires it is about time their parents were held accountable.

      It is certainly possible that it is kids doing this but it does happen with alarming regularity.
