THE Fire Brigade has warned bonfire revellers to avoid having firefighters turn up at their fireworks parties.

Stations are urging families to go to properly-organised displays but have issued advice to those staying at home.

Do not leave bonfires unattended

Do not put dangerous rubbish like aerosols or paint on the fire

Never leave children or pets unsupervised

Do not use petrol to start the fire.

Finally, the brigade says always have a bucket of water handy.
