Firefighters called out to more than 350 bonfires across Scotland

Firefighters were called out to more than 350 bonfires across Scotland on what has become a notoriously busy night for the fire service. Crews attended a total of 352 callouts between 3.30pm and 11.30pm on November 5, according to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

Five attacks on crews were also recorded, though no injuries were reported. A total of 1,025 calls were received.

Assistant Chief Officer David Farries, director of service delivery for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, said he was "disappointed" to hear of the attacks and said crews should be able to carry out their jobs without fear of harassment.
