Firework safety tips

Your best bet is always to go to a properly organised display, but if you do decide to celebrate at home I've come up with some easy tips to follow.

  • Always wear gloves when using sparklers, and put them in a bucket of water afterwards.
  • Never play with fireworks.
  • Stand well back.
  • Always be with an adult.
  • Keep pets indoors.

So, celebrate safely, always follow the Firework Code and have a ‘Totally Brill’ Bonfire Night!

Don't forget your gloves

Do not leave candles unattended and make sure they are out before you go to bed. Always use the right kind of holders, placed on fireproof surfaces. Keep lit candles away from clothing and furnishings.
