No arrests have yet been made by police investigating the recent fires on Eston Hills.
Firefighters were called to Eston Hills at 3pm on Sunday following reports from “several members of the public” who had seen youngsters setting fires.
The firefighters came up against it while tackling the flames after more deliberate fires were set at the same time.
David Turton, head of community safety at Cleveland Fire Brigade said the incident was “very frustrating”.
He added that such fires can remain smoldering in the undergrowth for a number of days.
They were called back to the area on Tuesday after reports of a further blaze. The fires are the latest in a series to hit Eston Hills in recent weeks.
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: “Inquiries are ongoing.”
