Fireman looks like he's having a jimmy riddle to put the fire out

i spotted 2 or 3 fires yesterday.... 1 goin up the motorway between wallasey and bidston turn off... where the railway line goes along the side of the golf course there was a big mass of bushes on fire there....

the next was on wot i believe is bridge street? was going home from my bros and spotted smoke across the road from the lights so got my gf to drive up and investigate and there was smoke bellowing from an area that is almost like the road goes over a railway track, just as we got up to the main road (conway street) there was a fire engine heading down there....

then literally round the corner, outside europa pools, there was an area near the front that looked like it was just starting to go on fire but wasnt too sure
