Stay safe this bonfire night

MIDSOMER NORTON LIFE
We would always recommend going to an organised display where you can be sure of safety measures and help contribute to fundraising for the local area. If you are choosing to host your own display in your garden, here are some top tips to make sure everyone has fun and stays safe at the same time. It has been reported that over 5,000 children are rushed to hospital every year for burns sustained over bonfire night. It isn’t just the kids that can become injured, so make sure to stay safe. Make sure to store your fireworks safely – follow all the instructions on the box and keep them hidden until it is time to use them. On the day, make sure to follow the safety instructions that come with your fireworks. The safest place to be is around 18 metres or 60 feet from a bonfire, so it is advisable to set up a parameter so you and your family will know where best to stand. You should set up well away from any buildings, trees, hedges, fences or sheds and be sure to tell your neighbours before setting any fireworks off. You should also be aware that you should not be letting off loud fireworks after 11pm. When you are ready to light your fireworks, have a bucket of water at the ready and read the individual instructions carefully. Remember to
