Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service is urging you and you family to stay safe this Bonfire Night and Halloween.

There are several ways you can ensure your family is safe while enjoying bonfires, fireworks and trick or treating.

We advise you to visit an organised event rather than having a bonfire or setting off fireworks yourselves, however if you do decide to celebrate at home please take a look at our advice for safe handling of fireworks and bonfires here www.shropshirefire.gov.uk/campaign/bonfire-and-firework-safety.

We also work closely with other organisations to ensure you have the most up to date safety advice and information.

StayWise has some fantastic advice for Halloween and you can check out their top tips here  Halloween Safety Advice | StayWise

If you’re concerned about teaching your children the dangers of fireworks, or not sure what to do if your child suffers a burn or is scalded, the child Accident protection Trust (CAPT) has some great advice and you can find a host of information on their website here.

Shire Services have launched a joint competition with Muller which they would love children to take part in!

With saving the environment at the forefront of everyone’s mind currently, they wanted to find a way to help with this. They have come up with a competition to help make that change.

Muller competition

The yoghurt pots are now one of the only products Shire Services use that can’t be washed and reused, whilst they wait for Muller to develop an alternative product for them (coming Spring 2024!).

They would like children to invent another use for a Muller yoghurt pot once the yoghurt has been eaten.

Please hand your creation into the school office or direct to the school kitchen. Everyone that enters will receive a sticker for taking part, and all entries across Shire Services will be judged, and the winner will receive a gardening set for their class.

The 6 winning entries will then be placed in a hat and one lucky winner will receive an Educational Muller Farm visit for their class.

All entries must be given to the kitchen team by Friday 10^th November.

Winners of the gardening kits will be announced w/c 20^th November – Muller and Shire Services are available to attend site and present the winner with gardening kit during assembly. The Farm visit winner will be announced w/c 4^th December.

Good luck everyone!
