Fireman Sam firework night tips:

• Fireworks are exciting but they can be very dangerous. Listen to your grown-up about where is a safe place to stand
• Keep your sparkly sparkler safely away from other people and don’t run with them
• Wear your gloves when you hold sparklers and keep them away from your body
• Once sparklers are finished, put them into a bucket of water, don’t pick them back up
• Make sure you wrap up warm and don’t wear dressing up clothes
• Stand at a safe distance from where fireworks are being let off and stay close to the grown-ups
• Don’t be tempted to throw anything into a bonfire or poke at it with sticks
• Be guided by your grown-up this Bonfire Night and don’t play in an area where fireworks are being let off

And don’t forget, Fireman Sam is back with his new TV series, from Monday 26th October at 7 am & 4 pm on Cartoonito.
