First Aid Advice

Remember, remember, the 5th of November.... first aid kit, water and gloves!

First Aid for Burns

  • Quickly cool the burned area in a bucket of cool or cold water for at least 10 minutes..
  • Do not remove any clothing that has stuck to a burn.
  • Once cooled, the area must then be covered with a clean, dry, non-fluffy dressing, or a strip of cling film. 
  • All burns caused by fireworks must be seen at a hospital to ensure there has been no deeper damage done.
