Our Hollins crew have recently put up banners across Oldham, including at @Roughyeds, to remind young people that anti-social behaviour is #BangOutOfOrder this #BonfireNight period.

⚠️ If you deliberately start a fire, you could receive a heavy fine or 6 months in prison.

🚫Abuse towards emergency service workers will not be tolerated.

Assaulting emergency service workers is #BangOutOfOrder and could get you locked up this #BonfireNight period.

☎ To report an illegal bonfire contact your local council.

🔥 If the fire is out of control call 999.

Members of the public can dispose of unused fireworks safely, as part of our fireworks amnesty, by calling 0800 555 815.
