Stay safe this Bonfire Night

Stay safe this bonfire night

Bonfire night is upon us. I know that my family and I will have a great time over this period and as long as everyone stays safe then I am happy!

Please remember the Firework Code suggested by The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents:

  1. Plan your firework display to make it safe and enjoyable, and ensure it finishes before 11pm
  2. Only buy fireworks marked BS 7114, keep them in a closed box and use them one at a time
  3. Read and follow the instructions on each firework using a torch if necessary
  4. Light the firework 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
  7. Don't put fireworks in pockets and never throw them
  8. Direct any rocket fireworks well away from spectators
  9. Never use paraffin or petrol on a bonfire
  10. Make sure that the fire is out and surroundings are made safe before leaving.

Have fun out there!
