Guy Fawkes Firework Safety 

When lighting fireworks, stay safe:

  • Read and follow the instructions on fireworks before using them
  • Light in a wide open area away from anything that could catch fire
  • Fireworks and alcohol/drugs are a dangerous combination
  • Always let an adult light the fireworks
  • Keep a bucket of water or a hose handy
  • Keep all unlit fireworks in their box or bag until you light them
  • Leave dud fireworks alone – trying to relight them is unsafe
  • Burns need water for 20 minutes

 

Think about others:

  • Put away the fireworks after 10.30pm
  • Keep your pets inside on Guy Fawkes Night
  • Point fireworks to the stars, not at your mates
