10 Dangers of Fire Fun on Halloween Night!



"Fireworks are known not only for the injuries they cause to our bodies, but they are also great sources of distubance to families where babies sleep, the elderly require rest and children are engaged in studies!"



1. Most fireworks are illegally sold without any quality checks. This makes them very dangerous to use as they are mostly defective and harmful as well.

2. Legal action will be taken against those who dump their household waste for creating bonfires.

3. Full time supervision of children is necessary as they are thrilled to be near the fires but do not understand it’s dangerous effects if they get too near to the fire.

4. Children should be kept away from fireworks as any accident with fireworks will cause burns and serious body harms to the hands and eyes.

5. If fireworks are thrown in public places, there is every chance of a fire outbreak in people’s property and houses resulting in large-scale damages. The Police will severely charge those guilty of such offences.

6. Individuals dump household wastes for burning bonfires. This will result in air pollution and will also affect human beings as these wastes may contain plastic, electricals, toxic liquids and other harmful pollution causing materials which will produce dangerous and life threatening health problems.

7. Fireworks are known not only for the injuries they cause to our bodies, but they are also great sources of distubance to families where babies sleep, the elderly require rest and children are engaged in studies.

8. Police will be on patrol throughout the night to avoid any sort of criminal or anti social activities which usually arise during celebrations and seasonal holidays.

9. Lighting fireworks in restricted areas or possession of illegal fireworks are crimes and if caught, then criminial prosecution will be undertaken.

10. Use of fireworks causes loud noise and smoke enabling the smoke alarms to sound. This distresses residential areas who will dial emergency numbers as distress calls. The entire drama wastes the time and energy of everyone, the Police, the law breakers and the families who makes the call.



5 Fire Safety Measures required during Halloween Party Night!


1. Firstly, plan bonfires in places where there is good supply of water and away from residential areas.

2. Never burn bonfires or light up fireworks while standing near to telephone or electrical line posts or cables.

3. An elderly person or Authorised Officer must keep children away from fires and make sure that harmful and highly flammable resources like kerosene, petrol, etc:- are not used to light bonfires.

4. Each individual must be responsible to check that all fires are put out before they leave the area.

5. Start bonfires atleast a couple of feet away from the people so that no fireworks are lit near the bonfires.
