POSTERS warning youngsters about the dangers of arson are being displayed in schools, phone boxes, hoardings and on buses across Greater Manchester this month.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service is launching the campaign to reduce the number of cars, rubbish skips and derelict buildings being set alight in the area.
Arson accounts for 77 per cent of fires attended by the service each year, costing millions of pounds. The main culprits are boys aged between 11 and 18.
