celebrate safely

Please see the following below from London Fire Brigade, feel free to share 

I hope you are well and wishing you a Happy Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas ahead of the celebrations. 

I am getting in touch to share an article and video that London Fire Brigade have produced this week, urging people to be safe whilst celebrating Diwali. It tells the story of Mr Aroen Kishen, who tragically lost his family in a fire on Diwali in 2023. The fire was caused by a firework, and Mr Kishen wishes to share his story to encourage others to celebrate safely, and in particular to avoid using fireworks. 

We would greatly appreciate it if you can share this messaging with your community, in any way which is appropriate. I have included the link below, as well as links to our safety advice on our website.
