Bricks were hurled at firefighters who were tackling a moped blaze in Top Valley.
Officers were called out to the fire at 10.52pm yesterday (November 4).
Whilst trying to extinguish the fire, bricks were thrown at officers.
Matt Reavill, Group Manager for Notts Fire & Rescue, said: “This act is unacceptable, and we are working with Nottinghamshire Police to identify those responsible.”
“Each fire appliance has eight CCTV cameras and footage is now with Nottinghamshire Police for the investigation.
“We have now put control measures in place to support and protect our crews when attending incidents.”
“We do not condone anti-social behaviour and it is not acceptable for emergency service staff to be hurt when they are out doing their job.”
A dispersal order has been put in place in the Top Valley area for a 48-hour period following a series of incidents, including this one last night.
Nottinghamshire Police Sergeant Oliver Vale, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are investigating all of the reports which came to us yesterday and we are taking them very seriously. I can assure people that we will be taking robust action against those who were involved.”
Nottinghamshire Police are appealing to anyone who saw the incident to help with their enquiries. Please call 101, quoting incident number 460 of 4 November 2020, with any information.
