Firefighters from Newport have dealt with a picnic bench fire in East Cowes this evening (Saturday).
1 appliance was mobilised by fire control to Victoria Grove in the town following reports that a piece of furniture was alight.
A hose reel jet was used to bring the situation – which is being treated as arson – under control.





























































































Typical East Cowes lowlife bring back the stocks and get them to pay for the eggs and tomatoes
So much for fire investigation. You can see where a portable bbq has been placed on the seat. Likely truth the scum who did such laughed and couldn’t care less, as is common place with charity kept upbringing.
Yet all it takes is for a concrete slab to be fitted in the centre of each table, and affixed with a metal edge and then IF any normal humans wish to bbq without ruining property they can.
they look like plastic picnic table, and the heat would have been producing toxic fumes.
Full of on benefit low life chavs. Take ALL play and park equipment away as the young will only grow up the same. Let the breeders supply their own play gear. Paid enough tax credit and child allowance and free rent and c tax.
Regardless of the type of person, this is still vandalism. Time the law was changed so that once the culprits are found, the parents are made to pay for the damage (or items taken away to the same value). But, in our softly softly approach to minor crimes, this is probably just a dream!!
How on earth would that change anything – parents have had to bring up kids with difficulties/anti social for years and your saying the answer is to make there life more difficult – what an idiotic response
Couldn’t do that, it’d infringe their human rights.
Excuse me for being cynical but that is a pretty small fire, less than a square foot by the look of it. If the person who dialled 999 had picked up a bucket of water instead of their phone, it would have saved a considerable amount of time and money.
A waste of valuable resources, Our highly-skilled firefighters don’t need their time sqandered on this sort of nonsense.
Have to agree with you there.
What idiots thought setting fire to this picnic table was fun?! You’re not cool just stupid. Go and find a hobby/sport to occupy your obviously vacant brain.
Ain’t got the brains they were born with
Jesus christ, it’s two planks to be replaced, not the end of the world…
Next a torched stolen motor bike, then car, then a rival drug dealers house. All ‘starts’ somewhere.
They are as thick as the 2 planks
