Bonfire Night is an exciting time – soaring fireworks, glowing bonfires, maybe some tasty hot food – but it can also present dangers, particularly to children and animals. So, Brits planning to celebrate Bonfire Night this week are being urged to follow eight simple do’s and don'ts to ensure a safe evening.
Experts at GardenBuildingsDirect.co.uk advise that anyone planning their own fireworks display to celebrate Bonfire Night should remember to share their plans with any immediate neighbours and follow all safety precautions. Bonfires and fireworks can also cause great distress to our four-legged friends, so pet owners should ensure their pets have somewhere safe they can hide away to muffle the noises, and close all doors and windows to keep pets from running away.
Anyone planning to have a personal bonfire or fireworks display should ensure they are far away from any homes or outbuildings in order to protect everyone’s safety and avoid creating noise for neighbours, especially ones with animals.
