“Just as the firefighters were about to put out the fire, a group of hoodlums appeared from nowhere and began attacking the firemen and their appliance with stones and sticks.

“The windscreen was broken, tires were deflated and their water hose was punctured. The injured firemen were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.

“The traders’ goods were destroyed by the fire as the firefighters couldn’t do their job as a result of the attack. Someone from the crowd shouted.

“Stop attacking the firefighters! They are here to save lives and property!

“The police quickly arrived and restored order and a backup fire appliance and men were called to the market to fight the fire. Finally, the fire was extinguished.
