Community leaders want everyone to stay say while enjoying fireworks displays and bonfires.
Members of the public are being urged to take steps to ensure safety is paramount this bonfire night.
Area Commander William Pollard is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service’s Local Senior Officer for Falkirk and West Lothian.“Scotland’s Fire and Rescue Crews attend up to four times more incidents than usual on the 5th of November, valuable time and resources can be wasted attending unsafe bonfires.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service would like everyone to enjoy the bonfire season, but it is very important that they do so safely and have consideration for others. “It is now a criminal offence to buy fireworks for anyone under the age of 18 and if you do so, you could face a £5,000 fine, six months imprisonment, or both, so please don’t risk it. A new aggravator will also be added to charges brought against those who attack emergency service workers. We welcome this legislative change, as it will help ensure more stringent punishments for those who commit such offences.
To reduce the risk of unnecessary bin fires, residents are asked where possible to put their bins out as early as they can on uplift day and bring them in as soon as they’ve been emptied.
