TEENAGERS are being warned they will "end up in casualty" if they mess around with fireworks.
Greenwich Council has launched a campaign to encourage traders and youngsters to act more responsibly during the bonfire season.
Around 100 information packs have been sent out to retailers, giving advice on the safe sale and storage of fireworks.
Advice teams are also visiting schools across the borough to warn children about the danger of mis-using fireworks.
Cabinet member for community safety Councillor Rajwant Sidhu says the council does not want to "spoil people's fun".
He added: "Teenagers who think it's fun to mess around with fireworks should think again because they are the most likely age group to end up in casualty."
