Make safety a priority this Bonfire Night. We want to highlight that the safety of our local community and front-line emergency services sta remains paramount this 5th November. Glasgow City Council (GCC), Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue are working together, alongside local housing associations and third party organisations to ensure antisocial behaviour and disorder is minimised as much as possible.your article content...

Firework Control Zones (FCZs) will operate across the city between the dates of Friday 30 October 2026 and Monday 9 November 2026.

It is against the law to: 

• Throw fireworks or to set them o in a public place at any time. 
• Possess fireworks if you are under 18 years old. 
• Light a fire in a public place if it endangers any other person (or property) or gives them reasonable cause for alarm or annoyance.
• Cause unnecessary suering to animals.

The cost of deliberate fire raising and unauthorised bonfires is overwhelming - and it potentially delays crews from attending more serious incidents. The safety of the local community and our frontline services remains paramount; any behaviour that places people or property at risk will not be tolerated.

How you can help keep your community safe: 

• Please do not allow your children or young people to handle, purchase or set off fireworks. 
• Report any ASB or disorder to Police Scotland on 101 or 999 in an emergency. 
• Police Scotland can also be contacted by the Online Contact Form: www.scotland.police.uk/secureforms/contact/ 
• Report flytipping/ potential bonfire material to GCC for removal on MyGlasgow app or www.glasgow.gov.uk 
• Report any known unauthorised bonfires or firework displays to GCC, Police or Crimestoppers - 0800 555 111

Put safety first: Stay safe, be considerate and don’t become a nuisance
