Whatever your plans

Whatever your plans for bonfire and firework events we want everyone to enjoy the festivities safely.

A few simple precautions can help keep you and others safe and prevent injuries.

🎆 Choose an organised display.

⚠️ Follow firework safety instructions - and never return to a lit firework.

🧒🏼 Supervise children especially around sparklers (sparkers are not advised for under-5s).

🧤Wear gloves when handling sparklers.

🔥 If someone suffers a burn:

Cool under running water for 20 minutes.

Remove loose clothing and jewellery, but nothing stuck to the skin.

Once cool, cover loosely with cling film or a clean plastic bag, if available.

Treat with over the counter painkillers - always follow the dosage and instructions.

🚑 Always call 999 or seek urgent medical advice for severe burns or burns that are bigger than a persons hand, or to the face, neck, feet or large areas of the chest - or if the person has breathed in smoke or fumes.
