Fire crews have been called to the coastal road tonight after a BBQ allegedly set grassland alight.
One appliance from Merseyside Fire And Rescue was called to the grassland near to Fairway after a group of teenagers let a BBQ get out of control and dry grassland began to catch alight due to the heat.
When crews arrived the group scattered and left firefighters to extinguish the BBQ and dampen the grassland to prevent the fire from spreading.
