Bonfire Night and Fireworks
Fireworks can be exciting and great fun to watch, but it’s important that adults and children follow a few simple rules so that you can all enjoy them in safety.

NEVER:

Put fireworks in your pocket
Return to a firework after it has been lit
Throw fireworks

ALWAYS:

Read the instructions carefully, using a torch or hand lamp
Light fireworks at arms length using a taper or a firework lighter
Stand well back
Ensure all children with fireworks are well supervised
Keep all pets and animals indoors
Put the hot end of finished sparklers down in a bucket of water

Sparklers should never be given to a child under five.
