STAY SAFE

Radio transcript - Bonfire campaign 2007

(Male Voice)

This is the sound of a firework exploding in your face.

Sound of a bang and scream

This is the sound of a firework exploding in your face at 100th of the speed - you may be surprised at what you hear.

Sound of a firework exploding

That’s a firework exploding.

That’s the hairs burning on your face as the impact of the heat comes within reach.

You let out a blood curdling scream… as your skin fries, your eyes are singed or even blinded and you’re left with a searing pain and a whistling in your ears.

(Different male voice)

Never return to a firework once it’s been lit and never throw fireworks.

Stay safe this year and attend an organised bonfire.
