RESIDENTS are being urged to secure their bins after crews dealt with three wheelie bin fires this evening.
Crews were called to the Wordsworth Avenue are in Leigh from 7.30pm to 9.30pm to extinguish the fires.
Kids are believed to stealing the bins and taking to park land to set them alight.
Now firefighters are urging residents to secure their bins to reduce the risk of fire —which ties up valuable fire resources and can cost the householder to replace the destroyed bin.
