Personal injury solicitors Manchester are pleased to hear that November 5th appears to have been one of the safest bonfire nights the city has seen for years, with Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service only responding to 306 calls.
This compares with 649 calls in 2012, 651 calls in 2011, 437 calls in 2010
and 564 calls in 2009.
Furthermore, the vast majority of the call-outs the fire service responded
to were small rubbish fires that had grown out of control, were too close to
other structures such as buildings, or were not properly supervised by adults.
The busiest time of the day was between 8pm and 9om, when fire crews
answered 56 different calls. Between 6pm and 11pm, the fire service received a
total of 174 calls.
No win no fee solicitors Manchester believe that public safety campaigns
may have had an impact, with many revelers choosing to visit safer organised
displays, such as that at Heaton Park.
The most serious Bonfire-related incident the fire service responded to was
in Bolton, where they were called to Hardmans, in the Bromley Cross area.
A shed had caught alight due to a stray firework, and a 47-year-old man had
sustained burning to his stomach. He was treated by a trauma technician from
the fire service and declined hospital treatment.
There were no major incidents reported and it appears people in Manchester
generally enjoyed Guy Fawkes' night in a safe and sensible manner.
cash payment in advance personal injury solicitors Manchester would advise people to remain aware
of the dangers of fireworks and vigilant about their safe use in the weeks and
months to come, as firework-related injuries and accidents are also likely to
occur on New Years' Eve.
A huge range of organisations have clubbed together to improve the safety
of Greater Manchester residents in the run-up to Bonfire Night, including the
police force, local authorities, the Health and Safety Executive, Trading
Standards, the fire service and Transport for Greater Manchester. No win no fee
solicitors Manchester would like to thank them for their hard work and
congratulate them on their success.
