LONDON Fire Brigade has warned bonfire revellers to avoid having firefighters turn up at their fireworks parties.
Stations are urging families to go along to properly-organised displays but have issued advice to those staying at home.
Do not leave bonfires unattended
Do not put dangerous rubbish, such as aerosols or paint, on the fire
Never return to a lit firework
Never leave children unsupervised
Do not allow young children to handle fireworks or sparklers
Keep pets indoors
Do not use petrol to start the fire as it ignites too quickly.
Finally, the brigade says always have a bucket of water handy and have a safe Guy Fawkes night.
