Despite the number of incidents going down firefighters say they are still being attacked.
On Monday a fire crew was attacked twice in one night in Ardrossan, North Ayrshire, after being called out to attend a bonfire.
"These things often escalate, so it starts off small - stones, then becomes eggs, then becomes bricks and it's got to the point in the past where it's been large pieces of wood with nails protruding," he said. "There's an element of danger to the job we do, but we don't expect that danger to come from members of the public like this," Mr Gibson said.None of the attacks led to crew injuries although the SRFS said a number of fire appliances sustained damage and one had to be removed from operational duty.
