Be Safe with Fireworks this Year
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: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
