SFRS issue warning over fireworks safety

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) figures show that children are more likely to be injured by fireworks than adults. Over the past five years, more than 350 pre-school children, some as young as one year-old, were treated in hospital for firework injuries.

Fireworks and bonfire safety advice is available on the SFRS website and a list of organised fireworks displays for 2019 can be downloaded. 

SFRS also provide downloadable safety leaflets on Halloween and bonfire and fireworks.
