A YOB threw a firework at a fire engine in Dunfermline on Bonfire Night.
No firemen were injured and it was the only reported hostile incident on Thursday when the Dunfermline-based fire crew attended seven other incidents.
That night three bonfires had to be extinguished, three wheelie bins were set on fire and there was one case of refuse being set alight, according to figures released by Fife Fire & Rescue Service this week.
This was a 13 per cent reduction in the total number of incidents attended compared to last year.
Rosyth's fire crew was only called to one incident - an unauthorised bonfire - one less than in 2008.
The figures show a total of 17 incidents throughout the Kingdom, with three being termed hostile. There were no such reports last year.
There was also a marked increase in wheelie bin fires in Fife - 10 compared to just one last year.
Unauthorised bonfires were down 19 per cent with other refuse being set alight down by half.
