North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue have condemned the actions of a man filmed travelling on the roof of a fire engine in Scarborough
The appliance was travelling through Scarborough at around 7.30pm last night when the man climbed on top of it. The incident was filmed in a video posted on TikTok.
In a statement the fire service say:
"This was unauthorised and as soon as he was spotted, the appliance was safely brought to a stop.
Our crew checked for injuries before expressing their concerns around the dangerous behaviour.
The man, who was joined by two others on foot, became verbally aggressive and abusive towards our crew – Treating our staff in this way is completely unacceptable and this matter has been reported to North Yorkshire Police.
We know most people would know how reckless this behaviour was, it could have led to some very serious injuries, if not worse.
But we are well aware of the power of social media. If your children have viewed this footage, please talk to them about how dangerous this behaviour is – if we had received an emergency call, we could be writing a very different statement this morning."
