A LARGE mesh swing and a children's tricycle were set alight last night.
The swing was on fire and dripping plastic onto the rubber floor of the playground in Tonge Park when firefighters arrive at about 7.30pm last night.
The crew used a Scotty Pack to extinguish the flames, taking around ten minutes.
As the crew from Bolton North Fire Station were leaving another call came in for Connaught Square, less than half a mile away.
There a plastic, children's tricycle had been set on fire and was totally burnt. The crew put the fire out in about five minutes.
