Fire crews are attacked by youths

[12th May 2008]

Youths set eight fires over the weekend, attacking fire fighters when they went to put out the flames.

According to North and West Belfast District Commander Lenny Entwhistle, the majority of the young attackers were between the ages of 12 and 16 and had been drinking. He said the number of attacks have been falling, but this recent increase could be linked to the good weather that brings more alcohol consumption and later nights out.
