@SnoopDegB This is completely false. We are extremely disappointed that anyone would spread additional disinformation to create further alarm.

While many enjoy Bonfire Night, fireworks can be harmful if used incorrectly. Firework restrictions are in place to help keep everyone safe.

It’s illegal to provide a firework to someone under 18, except for F1 fireworks like sparklers.

Battery operated candles or torches are the safest way to light up spooky things at Halloween.

However if you do have naked flames around, make sure they are well away from anything that can burn including costumes that might catch fire.

[Scottish Fire and Rescue Service – Your Safety @SFRSYourSafety]

Candles, costumes and Halloween decorations can be a dangerous combination.

Use a torch or battery candles in pumpkins rather than candles.

Smoking is the number one cause of accidental fire deaths in Scotland. If you're tired or under the influence of alcohol it is safer to smoke outside, or standing up at a window or exterior door.

Suspect the building you're living / working in or visiting has a faulty fire door? Don't walk by. Report it to whoever manages / owns the building. You could save a life that day.

Anyone carrying out gas work for you must be Gas Safe registered. If they’re not, they’re working illegally. Cutting corners to save money is not worth it; it can put lives at risk and could cost more to fix.
