🎆 Bonfire Night is under three weeks away.

If you're planning to celebrate, please take time to think about how you can do so safely and responsibly.

While fireworks can be exciting for many people, they can be distressing for others, including vulnerable members of our communities and animals.

Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing tips and advice to help you, your loved ones and those around you stay safe this Bonfire Night.

In 2024-25 the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service attended 10,468 deliberate outdoor fires. Many of these involve young people. Make sure that children and young people are aware of the risks of playing with fire and the consequences of deliberately setting a fire.
Deliberate fires can spread quickly, threatening wildlife, property & people.

Our firefighters responded to 39 fires in derelict buildings last Autumn.

Derelict and empty buildings are unsafe.

Deliberate fires take firefighters away from other incidents and could put lives at risk.

Make sure that children and young people are aware of the risks of playing with fire and the consequences of deliberately setting a fire.

The first 20 minutes after a burn or scald are important. Knowing the right first aid can help limit the severity of the injury.

Remember: Cool, Call, Cover

COOL the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes
CALL 999 for serious burns or seek medical advice
COVER the burn loosely with cling film

Hair straighteners can reach temperatures of over 200°C and can stay hot for up to 40 minutes after being switched off.

Always keep straighteners out of children’s reach, including while they are cooling down. Store them safely in a heat-resistant pouch after use.

Hot drinks are one of the most common causes of burns and scalds to young children.

A hot drink can still scald a child 20 minutes after it has been made. Keep cups and mugs well out of reach and away from the edges of tables and worktops.

Small changes can help prevent serious injuries.
