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
