People in Scotland have been issued a warning by emergency services ahead of Bonfire Night.
This comes as the rules regarding the sale of fireworks have tightened in Scotland. From October 10, it has been an criminal offence for anyone to supply fireworks or other pyrotechnics to a child or person under the age of 18, under the Fireworks and Pyrotechnic Articles (Scotland) Act.
As well as that, attacks on emergency services workers using fireworks or pyrotechnics will become 'aggravating factors' that can be taken into account when sentencing offenders.
