Coronavirus blamed for rise in deliberate fires

DELIBERATE fires rose by 15 per cent year-on-year in Fife during 2020 – an issue attributed by safety chiefs to COVID-19. Fife Council’s environment and protective services sub-committee heard that there were 17 more primary fires involving buildings and cars and 47 more secondary fires between April and September last year than in the same period in 2019. However, road crashes requiring fire assistance fell by a third and “unwanted fire alarm” signals such as false alarms dipped by a quarter. Mark Bryce, area commander for the Fife region, said coronavirus was behind the fluctuations. In response to a question from Dunfermline Central councillor Jean Hall Muir, he said the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service was coping well with the demands put upon it by the pandemic.
