A pair of 16-year-olds from Corby have been questioned in connection with a series of field fires in rural parts of the town.
Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue Service said today that they had been called out to a field fire in Corby at just after 9pm last night (July 10). They used wildfire backpacks and beaters to extinguish the blaze, which was one in a series in the area.
Northamptonshire Police have since arrested two 16-year-old boys on suspicion of arson, relating to a series of suspected arsons on The Great Oakley estate in a field and set of woods adjacent to Uppingham Road.
The boys have not been named.
