Tyne & Wear Fire and Rescue Service earlier on today tweeted about the fact that their firefighters have come under attack eight times in just seven days.

This shocking statistic and news will be condemned by many both inside and outside of the emergency services family.

The tweet shared on @Tyne_Wear_FRS said:

‘In the last 7 days our firefighters have been attacked – both verbally and with stones 8 times. 

‘Attacks hinder us from keeping our communities safe and also risk putting emergency equipment out of action. 

‘Please help to keep our crews safe’. 

Just why anyone is motivated to attack these firefighters isn’t clear, but anyone caught abusing or attacking members of the fire service MUST be made to account for their ridiculous actions before a Magistrate.

The individuals carrying out these attacks would be the first to expect a firefighter to put their life on the line should they ever need rescuing from a burning building and yet the mindless thugs responsible for these attacks seem not to be able to grasp the irony of such a situation.

Hopefully, at some point, the individuals responsible will be caught and will be punished for their outrageous conduct and actions.

The contempt that some people seem to have for our emergency services is beyond comprehension. They do not deserve the bravery that is offered by our colleagues.

In the last 7 days our firefighters have been attacked – both verbally & with stones 8 times. Attacks hinder us from keeping our communities safe & also risk putting emergency equipment out of action.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.

    I believe that any twat that attacks any of the emergency services personnel in any way, shape or form (even verbally) should be an automatic jail sentence – and a decent time too, not just a couple of weeks. Unacceptable.

    The Government MUST bring in TOUGHER COMPULSORY SENTENCES That Magistrates/Judges MUST impose, then these same Judges can ADD additional Prison Time & COSTS – Compensation for victims – ANY Sentence to be served in FULL PLUS they are in ADDITION to any extra time according to the severity so JAIL means JAIL as they MUST RUN CONSECTITVELY Not Concurently)
