Emergency services across parts of the United Kingdom are preparing for potential disorder on Bonfire Night, according to a report in The Guardian. The report, written by Robyn Vinter, the newspaper's North of England correspondent, says the preparations come amid concerns over the safety of firefighters from rising attacks and shortages of resources.

The Guardian reported that the fire brigades union warns of insufficient resources. The outlet said some communities have already been hit by unrest, and that Leeds and Edinburgh were among areas affected by fireworks-related violence in previous years.

Separately, BBC News reported that as many as 1,700 officers could be deployed in the "biggest Police Scotland operation" since last year's visit by President Trump.

The BBC report's headline states that police are to escort fire crews in the latest crackdown on Bonfire Night disorder. Its summary does not say when or where those escorts would take place.

The two accounts differ in scope. BBC News's report concerns Police Scotland, while The Guardian's describes preparations across parts of the UK involving both police and firefighters. Neither summary gives figures for injuries or arrests from previous years.

The Guardian's summary ends mid-sentence, so details beyond its opening passages could not be confirmed from the material available for this story.
