Hide AdWatch manager Mark Woodward said: “Each time this happens, it is depleting the area of fire cover that’s needed.
“Before it escalates and someone gets hurt, we want this building to be fully demolished and top more anti-social behaviour.
“We’re going to be speaking to the council about it, because it’s a temptation to people.
“I’m also going to ask the people who are doing this to look at their own conscience, because they are putting firefighters at risk and depleting fire cover.”
