Focuri de artificii

In the lead up to Bonfire Night 2026, we are releasing data showing a 63% rise in firework related injuries to children between 2024 and 2025. This increase is seen in the serious burns to children that need admission to a Specialist Burns Unit and doesn’t even include the thousands seen and discharged from A&E each year.

It is also predicted that this year 500 children and their families will join the growing number of people who will remember bonfire night for the wrong reasons. They will have been injured as a result of an accident with fireworks.

  • Marea majoritate a rănilor sunt la nivelul ochilor, capului sau mâinilor - astfel încât copiii vor avea cicatrici vizibile toată viața;
  • Cele mai multe leziuni se produc la expoziții private sau de familie;
  • Incidentele cu rachete, bombe aeriene și scântei sunt cele mai frecvente;
  • Mult mai mulți băieți decât fete sunt răniți de artificii - în special băieții cu vârste cuprinse între 12 și 15 ani.

Scânteile sunt adesea considerate o modalitate relativ inofensivă de a permite copiilor foarte mici să participe la emoția serii de artificii - NU ESTE ADEVĂRAT - o scânteie poate atinge temperaturi de 20 de ori mai mari decât punctul de fierbere al apei.

Nu dați niciodată scântei copiilor sub vârsta de cinci ani. Asigurați-vă că copiii mai mari poartă mănuși, țin scânteia la lungimea brațului și au ÎNTOTDEAUNA în apropiere o găleată cu apă în care să pună scânteile folosite - cu capătul fierbinte în jos.

Before they explode read the code! Citiți raportul Child Accident Prevention Trust sfaturi pentru a rămâne în siguranță în preajma focurilor de artificii.

The best way to enjoy fireworks is at an organised display. The fireworks will be bigger, you’re not responsible for safety and you’ll be part of the crowd.

Poveștile supraviețuitorilor

Accidentele cu artificii pot fi catastrofale și reprezintă cel mai rău coșmar al oricărui părinte.

Spunându-și poveștile, familiile noastre inspiratoare ne ajută să subliniem riscurile la care sunt expuși copiii și cum să prevenim astfel de accidente.

Do

Read all the instructions: The box of fireworks will tell you important things like how far people need to stand back once the firework is lit. Make sure to read all the safety warnings. Buy from licensed sellers: Most shops, like supermarkets, can only sell fireworks on certain dates during the year. If you’re buying them at a different time you need to visit a specially licensed shop. It’s illegal for under-18s to buy or carry fireworks. Keep pets indoors: Cats and dogs should stay inside. Check your timings: Did you know that you can’t let fireworks off between 11pm and 7am? The only exceptions are Bonfire night, when the cut off is midnight, and New Year’s Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year, when it’s 1am. Let your neighbours know, so they can prepare. Teach children to Stop, Drop and Roll. Ahead of Fireworks night and Hallowe’en, make sure children know what to do if their clothes catch fire. The instinct is to run. So encourage them to practice stopping, dropping to the ground, covering their face with their hands, and rolling over a few times to put out the flames.

Don't

Don’t let children help: Kids should enjoy the display from a distance and should not be allowed to handle fireworks, tapers and matches. Preferably they should watch from inside the house and away from any fireworks that could go astray. Don’t rush things. Take time to plan and make sure you are confident and comfortable with handling fireworks and that you have the appropriate space in your garden to hold a display. Don’t give sparklers to children under the age of 5. Don’t forget that bonfires are dangerous too. If you are having one, keep your bonfire away from buildings, sheds, fences and trees and have water or a hosepipe ready. Tell your neighbours so that they are informed, and never throw anything dangerous onto the fire.
