Released footage of thugs attacking firefighters with fireworks

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service has released footage of people launching fireworks at emergency workers while trying to tackle a blaze. Dashcam footage taken from cameras installed in the service's fire trucks has been published from November 2013 to alert the public to incidents fire crews face in the bonfire season. A fire crew is seen arriving at a street in the Chapeltown area of Leeds where two blazes are alight in the street. The fires were allegedly lit to draw crews to the area. Several people emerge from a side street as the first firefighter exits the truck to investigate. He is soon seen cowering from fireworks rockets that are being shot at him by the people. A fire service spokesman said none of the firefighters involved were injured.
