Firefighters attend more than 300 bonfires across Scotland

The service also received more than 1000 calls from the public during an eight-hour period.

Initial figures indicate that crews responded to around 374 bonfires across the country between 3.30pm and 11.30pm on November 5. Meanwhile Operations Control handled more than 1020 calls from members of the public.

There were also eight reported attacks on crews, with three injuries reported.

With public events cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions, the service had appealed to the public to be aware of the dangers of fireworks and deliberate fire-setting and to also consider the impact of their actions on communities and emergency services.

Assistant Chief Officer Stuart Stevens, Director of Service Delivery, said: "I would like to pay tribute to the professionalism and resilience of our frontline and Operations Control firefighters and support staff who have shown extreme dedication over this period. I must also thank our partners, and indeed communities across Scotland, for their continuing support in sharing and heeding our safety messaging.”
