Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) is<br />
urging communities to do their bit this Autumn and stay<br />
safe, as the Halloween and Bonfire season gets underway<br />
this week.<br />
Festivities will look very different this year as a result of<br />
COVID-19 restrictions, with organised displays cancelled<br />
across Greater Manchester.<br />
With more people expected to celebrate at home,<br />
firefighters are calling on people to take extra care and<br />
remind themselves of Bonfire and firework safety advice<br />
that is available at www.manchesterfire.gov.uk<br />
GMFRS’ Chief Fire Officer, Dave Russel, said: “The<br />
Halloween and Bonfire period will be as busy as ever<br />
with the expectation that more families and households<br />
will opt to host their own small firework display due to<br />
organised events having been cancelled.<br />
“Our advice would be to not have fireworks and bonfires<br />
this year – instead, stay at home, stay safe and protect our<br />
emergency services. If you do choose to purchase fireworks,<br />
you must do so safely by checking for the CE mark, and you<br />
Safe4Autumn<br />
must follow the Fireworks Code when using them.<br />
“Bonfires can be dangerous if not managed correctly and<br />
they cause problems for our emergency services. If you<br />
are going to have a bonfire in your garden, please do<br />
so safely by following the advice on our website www.<br />
manchesterfire.gov.uk. It’s more important than ever that<br />
people across Greater Manchester celebrate this autumn<br />
safely and responsibly.”<br />
