It's November the 5th and we hope that, whether you are going to an organised display at the weekend or you are having your own party, you enjoy the whoosh, bang and crackle of the fireworks. Please think about safety at all times and remember the fireworks code:
- Stand well back
- Never go back to a lit firework
- Never put fireworks in your pocket
- Never throw fireworks
- Light sparklers one at a time and wear gloves
- Never give sparklers to a child under five
- Keep pets indoors
Did you know that half of all fireworks accidents happen to children under 16? See 20 Things you never knew about fireworks for more fascinating facts.
