With Bonfire Night now a matter of days away, many of us will be busy preparing plans for November 5.
Bonfire Night can be plenty of fun for all of the family to enjoy, but with lots of potential hazards, it’s important to keep yourself and family safe.
In the wrong hands, fireworks can quite easily cause serious injury and make your November 5 one to remember for all the wrong reasons.

Lighting your own bonfire can also cause plenty of hazards, particularly if you live in a built-up area.
Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) is advising Peterborough residents to go to an organised fireworks display this November instead of hosting one at home.
CFRS has published a list of organised fireworks displays in and around the city where you can enjoy Bonfire Night safely.
