Police investigate grassland and woodland 'arson'published at 07:19 British Summer Time 10 July 2018
Police are investigating two fires in Torquay, Devon, that they believe were started deliberately.
Both fires happened over the weekend - one involved a grassland area, the other was in a wood.
Police said: "Due to the adverse hot weather conditions the fires took hold easily and spread quickly."
People were seen running away from the scene of the woodland blaze, and officers would like to speak to them.
Police are asking for anyone with information to come forward.
