Police have stepped up patrols of a protected heathland after a series of 'deliberate' fires started by youths threatened nearby properties.<br />

Since April 1 there have been 21 fires at Bourne Valley Nature Reserve in Poole, Dorset.<br />
<br />
Recent fires have been creeping closer and closer to properties and playgrounds surrounding the open space.
