David Turton from Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service has recently thanked us for advertising organised displays and using their 2008 campaign video (see comments). He also asked if it would be possible for us to put a link to the 2011 twfire.gov.uk safety campaign website somewhere on this article so that people can read updated safety advice and see more details about organised displays, plus view their 2011 campaign video.
Of course we are happy to oblige

Hi there,
Thanks for advertising organised displays and using our 2008 campaign video.
Would it be possible for you to put a link to our campaign website twfire.gov.uk/bonfire somewhere on this article? it would allow people to read safety advice and see more details about displays, plus our 2011 campaign video.
Thanks for your help!
