In An Emergency

• Cool the burn or scald with cold water for at least 10 minutes

• Don't touch the burn or pull away any material stuck to it

• Cover the burn with clean, non-fluffy material to prevent infection - cling film is ideal

• If clothing catches fire, get the person to stop, drop to the floor and roll them in heavy material, such as a curtain

• Seek medical advice

When buying fireworks, make sure they comply with BS 7114 and are clearly marked for their intended use "Indoor, Garden or Display"
