TWO incidents involving fireworks could have led to major fires.
A firework was pushed through the sunroof of a car parked in St Katherine's car park on Tuesday, causing a lot of smoke but fortunately not setting the interior alight.
Ledbury firefighters were called out at 3.35pm and later, just after 5pm, attended a second incident at the medieval Master's House when staff at the Hereford-shire Council office smelt smoke.
Firefighters discovered that a firework, possibly a banger, had been shoved into an air vent on the side of the building.
Sub-Officer Terry Phillips said: "Luckily enough, on these two occasions, no damage was done. But both incidents could have led to a major fire."
Police are investigating.
