Quiet Guy Fawkes

3:26 pm on 6 November 2008

The Fire Service says only a small number of incidents were reported during Guy Fawkes celebrations on Wednesday night.

It attributes this to restricting the sale of fireworks to four days.

Wet weather was also a deterrent.

Firefighters attended only about 50 calls in the upper North Island and the majority of reports came from neighbours who were concerned about bonfires.
