Firefighters escaped injury on Bonfire Night after coming under attack as they tackled hundreds of incidents across Greater Manchester.
Crews attended 272 reported incidents between 4pm on Tuesday and 8am on Wednesday - compared to 291 in 2018.
Though called to fewer incidents than last year, firefighters were attacked on five occasions in Manchester, Tameside, Oldham, Trafford and Bury.
Jim Wallace, chief fire officer at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, said: "Bonfire Night is a particularly busy time for the fire service, and other emergency services in Greater Manchester, and last night as expected they all did a fantastic job at keeping the public safe.
"The last thing our crews need when attending incidents, some of which can be particularly challenging, is to be concerned that they themselves will be attacked, with the potential that firefighters and fire engines are then unavailable due to anti-social behaviour.
"Thankfully, despite the attacks on our crews last night, no one was harmed, but I would take this time to remind members of the public that our staff are doing their job, keeping the communities of Greater Manchester safe, and they want to go home to their families at the end of their shift.
"Help us to help you by respecting our emergency services."
