Allerdale Police issue warning after incidents of arson in Keswick park
ALLERDALE Police are reminding the pubic that setting fires is dangerous, illegal, and will not be tolerated. Recent incidents of arson have been reported to police in Fitz Park, Keswick, and they are actively investigating each case. Allerdale police said that parks are not for fires, and are designed to be shared spaces, places where communities can gather, children can play, families can picnic, and nature can be enjoyed by everyone. A spokesperson for Allerdale Police said: "Unfortunately, deliberately setting fires in our parks is causing real harm. Beyond destroying property, it creates dangerous situations for people, damages facilities we all rely on, and costs our community time and money to repair. "Every park is a shared investment — built, maintained, and protected for everyone's benefit. When we damage them, we take away something that belongs to all of us. "Let's choose to protect our parks, respect the spaces we share, and make sure they remain places of beauty and safety for generations to come. "If you see unsafe behaviour or suspicious activity, please report it. Together, we can keep our parks green, safe, and thriving. "If anyone has any information in relation to the recent incidents of arson please contact 101 quoting log 61 of August 5."

Public warned 'don't leave dogs in hot cars' following two incidents this weekend
POLICE have warned dog owners that a car is not a safe place to lead a dog on a warm day- following two separate incidents in the area. Allerdale officers have today, May 18 been called to two separate incidents of dogs in hot cars. In a statement on social media, Allerdale police said: "Leaving a dog in a car on a warm day is extremely dangerous and can be fatal. The temperature inside a car can rise rapidly, even with windows cracked open, creating an oven-like environment that can cause heatstroke and death within minutes. "Dogs struggle to cool down in hot conditions because they primarily rely on panting, which isn't effective in a car." Why Leaving a Dog in a Car is Dangerous: Heatstroke: Dogs can develop heatstroke quickly in a hot car, leading to organ damage, seizures, and even death. Dehydration: Dogs cannot sweat like humans, so panting is their primary method of cooling. In a car, panting is ineffective, leading to rapid dehydration. Temperature Increase: A car's temperature can soar to dangerously high levels even when it doesn't feel that warm outside. Allerdale police added: "A parked car is not a safe place for a dog on a warm day, if you can not take your dog with you, LEAVE IT AT HOME."
