Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service is warning parents of the potential fire risk posed by children’s fancy dress costumes, which can quickly burn if touched by a naked flame.
As Halloween approaches, the Fire Service advises that fancy dress costumes should only be purchased from reputable retailers and always check the label – clothing will always burn if in contact with naked flames, but some much faster than others.
This Halloween families and children can visit Exeter’s Royal Albert Memorial Museum at night, meet a Tudor lady, a wartime Air Raid Warden and a Roman soldier, get close up to creepy creatures and explore the museum in the dark.
Whether you are organising a display for your friends, family or the general public the storage, handling and use of fireworks must be done with the utmost care.
