Video: Cheshire firefighter reveals the dangers of using fireworks

By James Kelly 30th Oct 2020

The Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service has created a video to warn against the dangers of fireworks ahead of Halloween and Bonfire Night.

Firefighter Ted Perry tells the fictional story of Matt who suffers loses his hand as a result of an accident while using fireworks to highlight the potential consequences.

Cheshire Fire's Deliberate Fire Reduction lead, Station Manager Andy Gray said: "As firefighters and officers have been unable to go into schools to engage with young people due to the pandemic, a hard-hitting and thought-provoking video has been produced to remind young people of the consequences setting off fireworks and acting anti-socially in their communities can have.

"I really encourage parents/carers to sit with their children to watch the video and have an open and honest conversation around the dangers of fireworks."
