Bonfire Safety Tips

If you have a bonfire, follow these simple guidelines:

• Bonfires can only be held on private land with the owner’s permission
• Warn your neighbours beforehand – so they are aware and can make necessary preparations
• Only burn dry material, do not burn anything which is wet or damp, this causes more smoke
• Check there are no cables (telephone wires etc.) above the bonfire
• Build the bonfire well away from buildings, sheds, fences and trees
• Do not use petrol or paraffin to start the fire it can get out of control quickly

Once the bonfire is lit, make sure you:

• Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby – in case of emergencies
• Do not leave the bonfire unattended
• Keep children and pets away from the bonfire
• Do not throw any fireworks into the fire
• Do not burn aerosols, tyres, canisters or anything containing foam or paint – this could produce toxic fumes and some containers may explode, causing injury
• Once the bonfire has died down, pour water on the embers to stop it reigniting and ensure it is completely extinguished
