Halloween and Bonfire Night is fast approaching.
This period should be a safe and enjoyable time for everyone.
Parents and carers can help by talking to children and young people about making safe and responsible choices and the dangers consequences around fire and fireworks.
Please encourage children and young people to stay away from fires, fireworks and discarded fireworks, and where possible enjoy fireworks at an organised display. These events are designed to be safe, enjoyable, and managed by experienced professionals.
Fireworks, loud noises and anti-social behaviour can be particularly frightening can also cause distress to pets, livestock, older people and vulnerable members of our communities, so please encourage children to be considerate of others.
Deliberate fires can quickly become dangerous and place additional demand on the fire and rescue service, potentially taking firefighters away from other emergencies.
By working together, we can help everyone enjoy Halloween and Bonfire Night safely while protecting our communities.
Thank you for your support.
