Celebrate safely
Are you planning on celebrating with fireworks for Bonfire Night? Have fun – but don’t forget to stay safe.
It’s the time of year when the night sky is lit up by spectacular fireworks. But if they’re not used safely, people and animals could be injured or distressed.
If you plan to have your own fireworks at home, remember:
- read the instructions
- let neighbours know in advance
- keep pets indoors, away from noise
- if you have farms or stables near you let them know
- use lower noise fireworks
- check the safety distance for use on the firework box
- only buy from reputable retailers
- store fireworks away from children and animals
- make sure fireworks are out, soak them in water, bag and bin the next day.
Or you could leave it to the professionals and make life easier by going to an organised public display. All the fun, none of the hassle.
