Firefighters attended more than 30 incidents related to Bonfire Night across Staffordshire this year.

Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service has confirmed that crews were called to a total of 38 incidents between Thursday 5 and Sunday 8 November.

According to the service, the majority of the incidents were bonfires that were either left unattended or had got out of control.

Head of Prevent, Protect and Partnerships, Nick Jones, said: "Thankfully nobody has been seriously injured as a result of a bonfire or firework-related incident this year, but we have seen a large number of incidents.

"Bonfires and fireworks, if not enjoyed responsibly, can be extremely dangerous and it is crucial that people know how to stay safe.

"Our crews have been able to respond quickly to a number of incidents this weekend and stop fires from escalating."

On Thursday (5 November), two appliances attended the scene of two large bonfires which had become out of control off Lomas Street in Stoke-on-Trent.

Just before 1am on Friday (6 November), firefighters were called to Warreners Walk in Tunstall following reports of a large bonfire becoming out of control.
