Key advice includes:

- Report suspicious activity: If you spot anyone loitering near bins, derelict buildings, or open spaces, report it immediately. Police warn that arson is a serious offence that endangers lives.

- Secure your property: Wheelie bins and flammable materials should be kept out of sight and away from buildings. If bins must be stored at the front of your home, consider securing them to prevent misuse.

- Stick to organised events: Public firework displays are safer, professionally managed, and more enjoyable. Setting off fireworks in streets or parks is illegal unless part of an authorised event.

- Be considerate: Loud bangs and late-night activity can distress vulnerable neighbours, including the elderly, young children, and pets.

- Know the law: Fireworks must not be set off after 11pm—except on Bonfire Night, when the cut-off is midnight. Breaking this rule could lead to fines or prosecution.

Police teams will be patrolling known hotspots in collaboration with local agencies, aiming to respond swiftly to any incidents. “Your help makes a big difference,” a spokesperson said. “Let’s work together to make Bonfire Night safe and enjoyable for everyone.”
