Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service is urging you and you family to stay safe this Bonfire Night and Halloween.

There are several ways you can ensure your family is safe while enjoying bonfires, fireworks and trick or treating.

We advise you to visit an organised event rather than having a bonfire or setting off fireworks yourselves, however if you do decide to celebrate at home please take a lot our advice for safe handling of fireworks and bonfires here http://www.shropshirefire.gov.uk/campaign/bonfire-and-firework-safety.

If you’re concerned about teaching your children the dangers of fireworks, or not sure what to do if your child suffers a burn or scolded, the child Accident protection Trust (CAPT) has some great advice and you find a host of information on their website https://capt.org.uk/lessons-for-little-ones/
