Bonfire Night is tomorrow, and we want everyone to enjoy it safely. Here are some simple but important ways to help keep yourself and others safe while having a great time:
- Attend organised firework displays whenever possible.
- Always follow the instructions on fireworks carefully.
- Keep fireworks in a closed box and use them one at a time.
- Never return to a firework once it has been lit.
- Keep a safe distance from fireworks, bonfires, and sparklers.
- Supervise children at all times and never allow young children to handle fireworks.
- Hold sparklers at arm's length, wear gloves if possible, and place used sparklers in a bucket of water.
- Keep pets indoors where they will feel safe and secure.
- Avoid alcohol if you are responsible for lighting fireworks.
- Keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby in case of emergencies.
- Do not throw fireworks or aim them at people, vehicles, animals, or property.
- Make sure bonfires are built away from buildings, fences, sheds, and overhanging trees.
Have a fantastic Bonfire Night, stay safe, and look out for one another.
