West Yorkshire fire officers say crews face regular attacks with fireworks, bricks and stones.
Attacks on fire crews by youths throwing fireworks, bricks and stones are a weekly occurrence in West Yorkshire, a senior officer has said.
Simon Moore, Watch Commander at Bradford Fire Station, said he would never buy a firework again after seeing the devastation they can cause."We wear helmets, gloves, visors, because we've had fireworks thrown at us while we're at incidents," he said. District Commander Benjy Bush said: "It's been unfortunate that we have still suffered some attacks across West Yorkshire, Bradford, Leeds and Calderdale.
Mr Bush said firefighters "are here to do a job and serve the public, so they shouldn't be subject to people throwing stones, bricks and fireworks".Assaults on Emergency Workers Bill
