A FIRE crew from Bolton Central were called to Spa Road after a fire was started in a stream culvert.
The fire is understood to have been deliberately started in the culvert, which is a tube that allows water to flow under a road, railroad, trail, or similar.
The crew were called at 6.40pm, on Friday and were on the scene for around 40 minutes.
Crew manager Andy Bolton said: “Someone had obviously set a small fire in the plastic tube.
“The stream was low at the time, so there was no water going through it.
“The whole inside of the tube was damaged."
