Put safety first and consider your neighbours when celebrating with fireworks ahead of Guy Fawkes Night on 5 November. We are encouraging people to attend organised displays rather than set off fireworks at home, helping reduce the risk of injuries, fires and disruption. If you are planning your own celebrations, give neighbours advance notice, choose quieter fireworks and finish early wherever possible.
