NI firefighters injured after prank turns nasty

Two firemen have been injured in Co Antrim after a children's prank went wrong.

Firefighters were dealing with a blaze in a skip in Poleglass, near Lisburn, when they were surrounded by a group of about 15 youths.

One of the youths interfered with the water controls, dramatically boosting the supply. A firefighter was flung into the air and broke a bone in his back. A second sustained a twisted knee.

The more seriously injured crew member is currently being treated in the Lagan Valley Hospital.
