Bonfire and firework safety scheme

Along with other partner agencies, we operate a voluntary Bonfire and Firework Safety registration scheme. The other agencies include other Derbyshire local authorities and Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service.

The scheme aims to provide event organisers with free safety information to allow them to operate an event in a safe manner. A list [PDF 59KB] of events being run under the scheme for 2012 is now available.

You can also let us know by contacting us by email or telephone.

Please also be aware that new legislation is now in force governing firework and bonfire events. Organisers of events are now required to carry out a risk assessment before the event takes place. This risk assessment should be in writing. Advice can be obtained from the websites linked to below to assist you to comply with your legal requirements and run a safer event.
