Safety Advice for Residential Firework Displays

If you’re planning to hold your own firework display, please follow these steps to help keep people, pets and property safe:

  • Choose quieter fireworks where possible.
  • Check the site is safe for neighbours and spectators.
  • Keep safe distances – use fall-out zones and always supervise children.
  • Never set fireworks off in the street or other public places.
  • Let neighbours know in advance, especially if they have pets or vulnerable family members.
  • Follow the instructions on the fireworks and never tamper with them.
  • Have water or sand ready in case of fire.
