Fire Chiefs re-iterate their message not to attack firefighters after yet another incident where crews faced unacceptable behaviour in Halifax.
Crews from Halifax Fire Station attended a fire in the open in the Park ward shortly after 5.20pm on Wednesday, 1 November. They were faced with a group of around 20 youths.
The watch manager assessed that the fire was not at risk of spreading to property and the crews retreated to avoid any hostility towards them. The fire was allowed to burn out. As they left the area missiles were thrown at the fire engine. Fortunately, no-one was harmed.
A spokesperson said the service will be working closely with West Yorkshire Police this weekend and has asked for people not get involved in what they have described as “madness”.
