Stay Safe Over the Bonfire Weekend

You do not want to come to A&E as a result of an avoidable injury over the Bonfire Weekend/Night.

Please stay safe - here is some general advice:

Always have water to hand, follow the firework code and let your neighbours know if you are having a bonfire.
Fires should be positioned well away from buildings, sheds and bushes and there should always be water available nearby.
You should only buy fireworks from a responsible retailer, that carry British or European safety marks.
You should always follow the firework code - store fireworks in a tin, never return to a lit firework and avoid drinking alcohol if you are in charge of a display.
If you are using sparklers, wear gloves and make sure there is a bucket of water nearby to help you dispose of them safely.
You should never throw fireworks or point them at other people.
