Fireworks are a ton of fun but carry real risks that need to be taken seriously. If you plan on lighting some here's some tips to keep everyone in your community safe and happy.

❌ 1. Never light fireworks in dry or windy conditions.

🔥 2. Only use fireworks in wide open areas, away from flammable items such as trees, grasses, gas tanks, and wood.

💦 3. Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby.

👧 4. Children should never light fireworks themselves and need to be supervised closely at all times.

🧰 5. Keep all unlit fireworks in a secure bag or container away from any source of fire until they are ready to be used.

📞 6. Be considerate and let neighbours know if you're planning to set off fireworks. Aim to finish at a reasonable time.

🐱 7. Keep pets comfortable and secure inside. The loud booms and flashing lights can easily scare them off.

🐮 8. Avoid lighting off fireworks around farm animals and be aware of any newborns or elderly neighbours who may also be affected. If possible, change locations to somewhere that minimises any disturbances.

🌿 9. Be a tidy Kiwi and let's work together to keep New Zealand beautiful! Clean up any any rubbish and leave your spot better than you found it.

Hi papatoetoe neighbours

As a parent every year it’s a bit daunting sending out children trick or treating. Mine never go on their own. But sometimes they are disappointed not many neighbours put candy out. I know not everyone does it, that’s cool... it’s for the kids. This year I thought I would ask to save time, which houses in papatoetoe are putting out candy for the kids?

My house is TOMORROW should any other parents be looking for the trick or treat houses for their kids.
We will have Halloween balloons out at the letterbox so others know.
Our address: 114 carruth road, papatoetoe. Witches and wizards ... Welcome! Beware of zombie ninjas 💀
