This week, our Primary 4–7 pupils were very lucky to have a special visit from the Bo’ness Fire Brigade, who came to deliver an important presentation about firework and bonfire night safety.

As Bonfire Night approaches, it’s a time of year that brings lots of excitement- bright colours, loud bangs, and fun celebrations. However, it’s also really important to remember how to stay safe while enjoying the festivities.

The firefighters shared lots of helpful tips on how to keep ourselves and others safe, such as standing well back from fireworks, never touching sparklers once they’ve gone out, and making sure bonfires are built in safe areas away from buildings and trees.

Our pupils listened carefully and asked some fantastic questions! The visit helped everyone understand how small actions can make a big difference when it comes to keeping safe.

A huge thank you to the Bo’ness Fire Brigade for taking the time to come in and talk to us. We really appreciate all the work they do to keep our community safe- not just on Bonfire Night, but all year round.

We hope everyone enjoys the celebrations responsibly and remembers the Fire Brigade’s top tips for a fun and safe Bonfire Night!
