Bonfire Night should be a fun evening for all the family to enjoy and with a few small safety precautions you can be sure everyone stays safe.

Remember The Firework Code- Before It Explodes
1) NEVER buy fireworks without the BS 7114 mark on them. 2) Read and follow the instructions on each firework using a torch if necessary. 3) Keep fireworks in a closed box and use them one at a time. 4) Light at arm's length with a taper and stand well back. 5) Keep naked flames, including cigarettes, away from fireworks. 6)Never return to a firework once it has been lit, it could still explode even if it has not yet gone off. 7) NEVER put fireworks in your pockets or throw them! 8) Never use paraffin or petrol on a bonfire. 9) Minimise stress to your pets by keeping them indoors. 10) Do not allow smoking around the Firewroks or at all whilst the display is going off. 11) Never allow anyone under the influence of alcohol to take charge of the fireworks. 12) Never give a sparkler to under 5s and supervise all others.
