As Bonfire Night approaches, Cleveland Fire Brigade is anticipating a busy period marked by increased callouts, deliberate fires, and alarming levels of violence against staff. To ensure everyone can enjoy the festivities safely, we urge our communities to celebrate responsibly and attend organised firework displays where they can. 

Police and Crime Commissioner Matt Storey has committed to a regular partnership meeting to oversee how organisations across Cleveland are working to address hate crime. 

North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) is supporting Restart a Heart Day. In the last year, NEAS community resuscitation officers have trained just under 3,500 staff, college and school students, businesses and community groups across the North East.  

The build-up to the spookiest night of the year begins in earnest this weekend with a feast of Halloween family fun in Middlesbrough.
