Tonight is Bonfire Night proper so remember to:
- keep pets safe,
- rockets and sparklers cause the most visits to A & E,
- keep your fireworks in their box with the lid on.

The best advice on fireworks comes from FireScotland. Visit firescotland.gov.uk/.../fireworks-… to find out more.

Many bonfires will be lit tonight. Please take in anything that could be burnt or used for 'a bit of a laugh' by 'funseekers'! In particular, your wheelie bins!

More advice at:firescotland.gov.uk/.../fireworks-…

Report the misuse of fireworks anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Did you know it is illegal to buy, attempt to buy, give or in any way make a firework available to someone under 18, other than category F1 fireworks.
Report antisocial behaviour involving fireworks anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. #fireworksafety

Halloween's very popular but if your children are going out tonight, do ensure that any who are under 12 are accompanied. Those older than 12, depending on their maturity and familiarity with the neighbourhood may be ready to go off on their own, but you know your child best!

As per our #NeighbourhoodAlert , SEPA is very concerned about potential flooding impacts from #StormBabet . Act now to prepare, and help those you support in your community. #SaferNeighbourhoodsStrongerCommunities Safer Communities Ready Scotland

It’s Test It Tuesday! Making sure you have working smoke & heat alarms could save your life. Test them weekly to make sure if fire does break out everyone in your home has time to get out safely.
