Halloween and Bonfire Night Safety message

Bonfire and Halloween Safety

The autumn partnership campaign is now in full swing - sharing safety advice to keep residents safe as they celebrate Halloween and Bonfire night.

Please encourage people to attend organised firework events. If people are planning to celebrate at home there is bonfire and firework safety advice on the following link: BangOutOfOrder - Greater Manchester Fire Rescue Service

Children's Halloween and other themed costumes are currently classed as toys. Therefore, it's important to check they are UKCA or CE marked to ensure they meet required safety standards.

Remember all garments have a risk of being flammable - you must keep them away from naked flames to prevent devastating burns.
