FIRE crews are urging locals to go to organised bonfires as they enter the busiest period for call outs.
Trevor Bernard, head of community safety, said: “The best way to enjoy bonfire night is to attend an organised display. The bonfires are bigger, the fireworks are better and they are a lot safer.“
The fire service’s top three tips for staying safe this bonfire night are:
Attend organised displays – they’re much safer than holding your own
Only buy fireworks from reputable retailers and never from people on the street
Light bonfires well away from sheds, fences, bushes and trees
