FIREMEN have warned youngsters of the dangers following a spate of fires at a semi-derelict youth centre at Atherton.
A fire crew from Leigh were called out to the Briarcroft Youth Centre, in Leigh Road, last night after a number of small fires were started by vandals.
Station officer Jim Simms said that the building had been targeted by vandals on numerous occasions and they were putting both themselves and firemen at risk.
