Bonfire Night: Fireworks and Bonfires can kill...

Welcome to Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service's 2011 fireworks and bonfires campaign. 

We encourage everyone to have a safe and enjoyable bonfire night and aim to prevent deaths and reduce the number of injuries caused by bonfires and fireworks over the bonfire period.

Watch our emotional video of young people in Tyne and Wear who have been badly affected by fire and how their lives have changed.

This site contains information on organised displays in Tyne and Wear, advice on fire safety and educational materials for teachers and dedicated pages for young people.

Read up on the laws surrounding bonfires and fireworks, download campaign leaflets, posters and pictures.

You can also connect with us on Facebook and Twitter to read safety tips and advice and pass messages and information to friends and family.
