Every year again more and more injuries are caused by Fireworks.
We have animals in fear, ex and current serving members of the military also.
It wastes a massive amount of time for our emergency services also dealing with incidents that could be lowered dramatically.
As Iā€™m sure you will be aware of that a total of 1,936 people in England needed hospital treatment in 2018-19 because of firework injuries. The victims in 600 cases ā€“ almost a third (31%) overall ā€“ were aged under 18.
