Firefighters came under attack from young people armed with stones as they responded to an electric box fire in Belfast.Two fire engines from Springfield station were "attacked by youths with stones" when they arrived on the scene. Crews withdrew 10 minutes later.
One firefighter received a cut to his nose and damage was caused to two windows on one of the engines."Every time someone attacks our firefighters, they are making their own community less safe," the service said."People deserve to feel safe in their communities and we'll continue working closely with community groups, statutory agencies and elected representatives to try and prevent attacks like this from happening again.

And to think parents aren't allowed to chastise their children. This is the result. Absolutely low life vermin who deserve a good thrashing with a birch rod. mckibbin101
Shoulda put the hose to them. Disgraceful.
Attacking the fire service is like beating up the person who tries to help you up after you stumble and fall.....for trying to help you up.
When you say “youths” are we talking 13/14 year olds or 20 odd year old so called youths like those who were causing trouble at protocol protests. If it’s the former parents need to ask what is my child really doing tonight, if it’s the latter they need a spell in a cell.
I don't even have to click the link to know which 'community' was throwing the stones
The same ones that will expect full medical treatment if they needed it...
