A fire-fighter has received compensation after being attacked by a gang of 15 youths, it has been revealed.
A group of 15 youths had stolen equipment from a fire truck while a team of fire-fighters had been attending a blaze when a house in Stockton was set on fire.
Four fire fighters had suffered from personal injuries with one suffering from a broken elbow after youths attacked them when the fire-fighters went to retrieve their equipment.
The fire-fighter said: "I've never seen anything like it in my 15 years as a fire-fighter. It is disheartening to know that people in the very community you are trying to help are willing to steal our equipment and attack us."
