Be Safe with Fireworks this Year

Fire Safety from Fire Safety - Wellington Region

When Lighting Fireworks...............STAY SAFE!!


Remember these simple safety tips to keep you, your family and your Neighbours Safe.
*   Read and follow instructions on fireworks
*   Read them with a torch..........NOT a lighter
*   Light in an open area away from flammable materials
*   Fireworks, alcohol and drugs are a dangerous combination
*   Never let your children light fireworks
*   Keep a hose or bucket of water handy
*   If one of the fireworks fails to ignite, do not try to re-ignite
*   Burns should be put under cold running water for at least 10 minutes
THINK OF OTHERS:
*   Fireworks are noisy - consider your neighbours and young children
*   Keep your pets inside
*   Point fireworks at the stars.......not your mates!!


We love meeting our Neighbours.....But lets not meet by accident this Guy Fawkes. Have Fun and Stay Safe!!

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
