Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service is urging you and you family to stay safe this Bonfire Night and Halloween.
There are several ways you can ensure your family is safe while enjoying bonfires, fireworks and trick or treating.
We advise you to visit an organised event rather than having a bonfire or setting off fireworks yourselves, however if you do decide to celebrate at home please take a look at our advice for safe handling of fireworks and bonfires here www.shropshirefire.gov.uk/campaign/bonfire-and-firework-safety.
We also work closely with other organisations to ensure you have the most up to date safety advice and information.
StayWise has some fantastic advice for Halloween and you can check out their top tips here Halloween Safety Advice | StayWise
If you’re concerned about teaching your children the dangers of fireworks, or not sure what to do if your child suffers a burn or is scalded, the child Accident protection Trust (CAPT) has some great advice and you can find a host of information on their website here.
