Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service received more than 300 calls on Eleventh night

Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) received 303 emergency calls, and responded to 151 operational incidents, between 18:00 BST on Saturday and 02:00 on Sunday.

Some bonfires across Northern Ireland were lit ahead of the Orange Order’s Twelfth of July parades.

Fifty four of the emergency calls were bonfire-related, and in Cookstown, County Tyrone, firefighters had to withdraw from a bonfire due to a “hostile crowd”, NIFRS said.

In a separate incident in Greenisland, Carrickfergus, the fire service dealt with a row of terraced houses, along with two oil tanks and a shed, on fire. Two homes were completely destroyed with damage caused to a further two properties.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
