With Diwali just around the corner, the fire brigade has issued an advisory to ensure a safe and happy celebration for everyone. The focus is on keeping children safe while handling firecrackers, with the recommendation of adult supervision. They also stress the importance of avoiding synthetic fabrics like nylon, which can easily catch fire.
In addition to these tips, the brigade is advising against some popular but risky practices. This includes bursting garlands of firecrackers in public places, lighting ‘diyas’ near flammable materials, and even drying clothes on terraces during firecracker displays. These simple precautions can go a long way in preventing accidents and injuries.
Other safety measures to keep in mind include submerging sparklers in water after use, avoiding hand-held use of flowerpots and ground spinners, and being cautious when igniting rockets in bottles or tins. Especially in residential areas, it’s important to exercise caution to prevent any mishaps.
If a fire does break out, citizens are urged to call the emergency hotline 101 for immediate assistance. The fire brigade also recommends keeping cold water nearby to treat any burns that may occur. By following these guidelines and being vigilant, we can all enjoy a safe and festive Diwali celebration.
