Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS) is encouraging anyone who is holding an organised public bonfire or firework display in Herefordshire or Worcestershire for Bonfire Night to let them know details about the event.
HWFRS Prevention Manager Emma Roberts explained: “Organised public displays are by far the safest way to enjoy Bonfire Night and so we are encouraging people to head along to one of these events with their families and friends rather than lighting fireworks themselves at home.”
She confirmed that HWFRS is compiling a list of organised bonfire and firework displays taking place across the two counties and that people can check out the list on the Service’s website at www.hwfire.org.uk and find their nearest event.
This list will be updated on a regular basis until Bonfire Night on Friday 5 November and anyone holding an organised bonfire or firework display in Herefordshire or Worcestershire can add their event to the list by calling HWFRS on 0800 032 1155 option 2 or by emailing safeandwell@hwfire.org.uk.
Further bonfire and firework safety advice will also be available on the website at https://www.hwfire.org.uk/safety-and-advice/firework-safety/
