A polite request from East Leicester Police - the team which covers Belgrave and the surrounding area
Diwali comes into its own after dark. It is after all the Festival of Lights.
There will be plenty of illumunations and fireworks later. And the police message when it comes to fireworks, even sparklers, is ' be very careful'.
The East Leicester team posted on social media earlier: "They can be very pretty but can be dangerous and need to be used with caution.
"Fireworks and sparklers must be used in an enclosed garden and not on the local park, green space, car park or the pavement outside of your house.
"A sparkler burns at a temperature of around 2,000 degrees celsius which is 20 times hotter than boiling water. So used in a public place and left on the ground the sparkler will stay hot for a long time and can cause serious burns to anyone who may pick it up after.
"Sparklers need to be used in your enclosed garden and after they have gone out put them in a bucket of water straight the way and leave them in there till the next day.
"Children under five should not be using sparklers and those over five need adult supervision. Gloves should be worn and the sparklers held at arm’s length.
"Fireworks are pretty but are very dangerous as you could put a firework on the ground to shoot into the air but what if that firework tips over and then misfires in the wrong direction.
"When fireworks are used in a garden they should be in a large enough area with enough room for the spectators to stand well back from them.
"They also need to be discarded correctly in a bucket of water after use and for you to never go back to a firework that hasn’t gone off. You can also see fireworks at organised events in your area.
"Remeber, it is an offence to let fireworks and sparklers off in a public place."
