It comes after a string of incidents in Bradford over the past week.

One was in Maudsley Street, Barkerend, near Marie Curie's hospice.

Police said they received a report that a firework had been thrown at a woman leaving work premises last Thursday evening.

Hospice manager Jo Whincup said the charity was “very concerned” about anti-social behaviour being directed at both staff and visitors.

She said: “We have referred the matter to police and are working alongside them.”

Last Friday night, fire crews were attending a blaze in the open in West Park, Girlington, when a firework was thrown at them.

And on Saturday, a member of staff at a Tesco store was injured after being burned by a firework which a witness said was thrown into the supermarket by youths.

Paramedics attended to the male member of staff but he did not require hospital treatment.

One witness described hearing a bang and explosion which was so loud they feared it was a bomb.

A Tesco spokesman said: “Police are investigating an incident which took place at our Bradford Buttershaw Superstore on Saturday.

"We can confirm that no Tesco colleagues or members of the public were injured in the incident, and we are assisting police with their inquiries.”

Footage of a residential street being blocked to traffic while a wedding party let off fireworks in the middle of the road has also met with anger.

The video shows rockets firing into the sky from the middle of Broadway Avenue, Marshfields, Bradford, as traffic has to wait with one woman calling the situation "ridiculous" .

Chris Kirby, area manager for West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, who is responsible for fire prevention, said: “We are very concerned about these alleged attacks using fireworks and would like to emphasise to the public the dangers of mishandling fireworks.

“It is now the run-up to the bonfire season when we tend to see a rise in such reckless behaviour.

“Any attack using a firework, be it on a member of the public or indeed our own firefighters, is unacceptable.

“Fireworks are explosives with the power to maim or even kill if used as a weapon or without caution.”

Superintendent Dan Greenwood, of Bradford District Police, said police were working closely with the fire service to investigate any offences committed against members of the emergency services.

“The senseless nature of such assaults will not be tolerated in this district and we will fully investigate any instances where someone seeks to use the Bonfire Night period to legitimise anti-social behaviour and put other people in real danger,” he said.

West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service is joining forces with Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield to support national Burns Awareness Day on Wednesday in a bid to highlight the devastating injuries burns can cause.
