Emergency services called to Wolverhampton bar after firework goes astray
Emergency services were called to a Bonfire Night display at a bar in Wolverhampton after a firework went astray.
The Garden Bar, in Birmingham New Road, Lanesfield, held a fireworks display on Saturday evening.
West Midlands Police said it was initially reported that someone had been struck by a firework, but confirmed that nobody was injured.
A police spokesman said: "We were called to an organised firework display at The Garden Bar, situated on Birmingham New Road, Wolverhampton, shortly before 8pm on Saturday night following reports someone had been struck by a firework.
"Our colleagues from the ambulance service were also in attendance but there were no injuries."
A member of staff at the bar said it had followed all health and safety regulations and the relevant fencing had been put up, but a firework fountain had gone astray.
They said emergency services had been called to the scene but no one was injured.
The bar put out a post on social media afterwards to apologise and told customers it would be investigating further.
