The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) has warned it will take a “zero-tolerance” approach to disorder when responding to incidents on Bonfire Night.
Firework Control Zones (FCZs) are active in a bid to root out anti-social behaviour after a series of incidents targeting emergency workers.
Police Scotland will also enforce “dispersal zones” in certain areas where crowds may gather.
Officers have already seized more than a tonne of fireworks which were held illegally.
And the SFRS said it expected to receive about 1,000 calls on Bonfire Night.
Garry Mackay, head of operations, said crews would be out responding to incidents from mid-afternoon onwards.
But he warned they should not be put at risk while going about their duties.
Head of Operations Mr Mackay said: “We’re not there to spoil anyone’s fun, we’re there to keep people safe. In terms of crews being targeted, we have a zero-tolerance policy.
“What is important to us is that our crews are protected and can do their jobs safely.”
He urged potential troublemakers to consider the men and women who will be responding to calls on the busiest night of the year.
“They are fathers, mothers, daughters and sons, they should not be subjected to anything like that at their work,” he added.
“But, on top of that, they are primarily there for public safety and any attack hinders their abilities to do their job and keep communities in Scotland safe.”
West Dunbartonshire Council refuse to comment on what is happening here.
