• 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
