As preparations are made for the official fireworks display in Enniskillen tomorrow night, Police have seized a quantity of fireworks in the Kesh area.

They are urging everyone to be considerate of others and ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable time.

The PSNI issued the following advice;

FIREWORKS AND SPARKLERS:

- Fireworks require a licence - except indoor fireworks and sparklers

- It is illegal to possess, purchase, sell, handle or use fireworks except under licence

- Only adults should light or handle fireworks

- Never ever go back to a firework once lit - even if it does not go off

- When watching fireworks, stand well back

- It is an offence to throw fireworks in the street or other public places

- Always supervise children around fireworks

- Never give sparklers to children under the age of five

- Light sparklers one at time and always wear gloves

- Keep a bucket of water close by and put sparklers in it when they go out

You can be fined up to £5,000 for breaking the law in relation to fireworks.

Police also reminded the public that they need a licence for outdoor fireworks and the legal age to obtain the licence is 16 years old. The use of bangers is illegal and the use of fireworks outdoors after 11pm and before 7am is prohibited except under licence.

The law clearly says that fireworks must be bought from a licensed dealer who is required to keep sales records. Fireworks bought from other sources could be of a sub-standard quality, with the potential to cause serious injury.

Fireworks that do not have instructions printed in English are illegal as are all bangers. The purchase, possession or use of fireworks without a licence is an offence.

If anyone has information regarding the sale of illegal fireworks they should contact local police. Alternatively, information can be passed on anonymously through the 'Crimestoppers' charity on 0800 555 111.
