Firefighters received more than 100 calls about bonfire incidents

The Fire and Rescue Service received more than 100 calls and responded to 80 incidents during 11th night bonfires.

The majority of the calls were in the Belfast area, although a spokesperson said they responded to incidents across Northern Ireland.

Some houses and other buildings had to be cooled by firefighters because they were close to bonfires.

The bonfires are lit ahead of the Twelfth of July parades which are taking place on Monday.
