Bonfire Night can be fun for all the family, but it can also be dangerous. 🔥 🎇

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service always recommends attending an organised event rather than having a bonfire or fireworks at home. These events have all the necessary risk assessments, escape routes, first aid and emergency firefighting equipment to hand to keep you safe.

But no matter where you choose to celebrate remember these important rules to stay safe this Bonfire night:
• Keep at least 5m away from the bonfire
• Supervise children at all times
• Give children only one sparkler at a time in a gloved hand
• Stand well back from fireworks
