FIREWORK SEASON 2026: SPARKLER SAFETY
This firework season, East Ayrshire Council and Ayrshire 360 are working alongside the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Police Scotland to help everyone enjoy fireworks safely.
Did you know that sparklers can become five times hotter than cooking oil? They may look harmless, but they are not toys and can cause serious burns.
Please remember:
✨ Never give sparklers to children under five
✨ Light one sparkler at a time and always wear gloves
✨ Hold sparklers at arm’s length
✨ Never run or wave sparklers near another person
✨ Never hold a baby or young child while using a sparkler
✨ Avoid loose or flowing clothing that could catch fire
✨ Place used sparklers hot-end down in a bucket of water
✨ Don’t take sparklers to busy public displays
If someone is burned, cool the area under cool or lukewarm running water for 20 minutes. Do not use ice, creams or greasy substances. Cover the burn loosely with cling film and seek medical advice.
If clothing catches fire: **stop, drop and roll**. Call 999 in an emergency.
Please share these important reminders with family and friends. Let’s help everyone across East Ayrshire enjoy a safe firework season.
