Arsenal fans climb on top of Highbury & Islington Station (Gareth Fuller\/PA)<\/p>\nAbout 75 people had to be rescued from height, and nine people were arrested during Arsenal\u2019s parade on Sunday, emergency services have said.<\/p>\n
Thousands of Arsenal fans lined the streets around the Emirates Stadium in London as the team embarked on their Premier League trophy parade on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The air thick with red smoke, fans climbed trees, rooftops and traffic lights with a hope of seeing their heroes as the team bus went by.<\/p>\n
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) said they rescued had \u201capproximately 75 people\u201d from incidents at height during the event, and encouraged fans to refrain from climbing onto rooftops as the celebrations continue this evening.<\/p>\n
They also said they attended a fire at a hotel, believed to have been caused by a stray flare.<\/p>\n
Assistant Commissioner of LFB, Pat Goulbourne, said: \u201cFortunately, the fire caused only a small amount of damage to the exterior of the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cPyrotechnics are also believed to have triggered the fire alarms at several other locations in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs supporters head home, we would urge them to avoid using pyrotechnics, particularly at stations, and to keep them away from buildings and other flammable materials.\u201d<\/p>\n
Goulbourne also said the celebrations had been a \u201cfantastic sight\u201d and said so many of the fans were \u201ccelebrating their club\u2019s achievement safely\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Metropolitan Police said that nine arrests had been made in the area around the Arsenal parade as of 6pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n
