Firefighters are currently tackling a blaze on Eston hills.
A spokeswoman for Cleveland Fire Brigade said one fire engine is currently at the scene of the gorse fire, which spans 150 square metres.
This is the second time in just a few days that emergency services have been called out to reports of fire at Eston Hills.
Cleveland Fire Brigade and officers from Cleveland Police were called to the beauty spot on Saturday afternoon following reports of the blaze. At its height, five fire appliances attended.
And once the fire was out, Eston’s neighbourhood police team took to social media to appeal for information about how it started.
Urging people to share and retweet information about the blaze, the Facebook message read: “If you have any information on who may have started the fire which could put people’s lives, businesses in danger please let us know.”
Eston Hills is regularly targeted by arsonists, especially in the summer months and during school holidays.
