Firework debris after they have been let off A LOCAL Councillor has questioned whether Bonfire Night should be confined to the history books after firefighters detailed how this year's celebrations led to violence, pollution and hundreds of call outs. Baildon Councillor Mike Pollard pointed out that while the celebrations might have been exciting in 1605, the annual event have proved to be a menace in recent years. At the most recent meeting of West Yorkshire Fire Authority, representatives of the region's five Councils were given an annual report on how emergency services had coped with Bonfire Night 2020 - traditionally the service's busiest time of year.
