Mandy also has these tips on bonfires and fireworks:
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service say their advice is to go to an organised firework display but advise that if you’re planning one at home to follow their tips and stay safe.
• Plan you display to make it safe and enjoyable
• Only buy fireworks which carry the CE mark, keep them in a closed box and use them one at a time
• Read and follow the instructions on each firework
• Light the firework at arm’s length, with a taper and stand well back
• Keep naked flames, including cigarettes, away from fireworks
• Never return to a firework once it has been lit
• Don’t put fireworks in pockets and never throw them
• Direct any rocket fireworks well away from spectators
• Sparklers are not toys and should never be given to children under the age of 5
• Make sure to wear gloves if you’re handling sparklers.If you are building a bonfire, please consider the following:
• Check for hedgehogs and other wildlife which may have taken shelter in your bonfire before lighting
• Never use paraffin or petrol on a bonfire
• Don’t build bonfires close to trees, hedges or sheds
