Bonfire night safety
Posted on Nov 01, 2022
Bonfire night is a time to enjoy the chilly outdoors with family and friends. However it’s also important to remind your customers to stay safe by following some simple guidance and advice. Sparklers, fireworks and bonfires are all safety hazards and could impose danger if not respected.
What can you do to stay safe this bonfire night?
Fire prevention – stand away from fire and fireworks and light them well away from trees, buildings and any other hazards.
Sparklers – light one sparkler at a time and always hold them at arm’s length. Wear gloves as they reach extreme temperatures, and put them in water as soon as they’ve burnt out. Always supervise children using sparklers.
Fireworks – never tamper with fireworks and always read instructions carefully. Let neighbours know if a garden display is planned, and keep pets locked inside. Only light one firework at a time wearing gloves and use tongs when positioning them securely to light. Make sure they’re pointing towards the sky and away from any trees or buildings.
Storage – keep sparklers and fireworks stored cool in a closed box and larger fireworks in a closed metal box.
Bonfires – it’s much safer to go to an organised bonfire rather than attempting a homemade one in the garden. They should be well away from anything that could catch fire such as buildings and trees. Never put flammables on or near the fire and keep children supervised at all times.
Other important things our customers should remember
Now we’re in November, the nights are colder and it’s likely to rain. So wear plenty of layers and make sure to stay warm. A bucket of water and first aid kit should be to hand at all times in case of an emergency.

"I m a returning customer and what a wonderful experience. Emma is new to her role but she was very helpful and polite throughout. She got the quote done very quickly and managed to beat all my other quotations. I therefore didn't have to waste any more time. Further she offered me three instalments at 0% which is helpful in this current economic climate. The paperwork was sent straight away. Highly recommended."
