Fireworks - keeping yourself safe

It's fun and exciting to watch firework displays at this time of year, but fireworks are explosives and can be extremely dangerous if not stored, used and disposed of properly.

To see the potential consequences of fooling around with fireworks, watch this video.

The direct.gov.uk website is full of information and guidance on the storage and use of fireworks and how to keep you and your family safe when celebrating Bonfire Night or Diwali.
