Happy Bonfire Night from all of us at Cambian Group! Some people with autism can experience sights, sounds, smells, touch and taste a bit differently, and sometimes more intensely. Bonfire night can be therefore be difficult, as the surprise, loudness and brightness of the fireworks can cause anxiety and stress. Here are some handy hints and tips to help keep you, your family and friends safe during the celebrations: Bonfires: - Build your fire in an open space, away from trees, bushes, fences and sheds. - Check there are no animals or children hiding in or around the bonfire before you light it. - Place a barrier and keep everyone at least 5 metres away from the fire. - Only burn untreated wood. - Keep a bucket of water nearby just in case. Fireworks: - Only buy fireworks that have the official CE mark on them, from reputable retailers. - Store fireworks in their original packaging with the lids closed. - Stand well back when they are lit. - Never return to a lit firework until it has gone off. - Wear noise cancelling headphones to block out the bangs or watch videos to distract from the noise to help with anxiety. We hope you have a fantastic and safe Bonfire night. #BonfireNight #Bonfire #Fireworks #GuyFawkes #Fire #Bonfires Sources: Lancsfirerescue.org.uk, bonfire-night-safety.co.uk, twinkl.co.uk, bbc.co.uk

It's that time of year again, and we know how scary it can be for our furry friends. Fireworks may be beautiful to us, but to our dogs, they can be terrifying. The loud noises and bright lights can cause distress and even panic. Let's make sure to ease their fears and keep them safe during this holiday. Here are some tips to protect your dogs from fireworks: 1️⃣ Keep them indoors in a comfortable, familiar space. 2️⃣ Close windows and curtains to reduce noise and visual stimuli. 3️⃣ Drown out the noise with soothing music or white noise. 4️⃣ Make sure they have their ID and are microchipped, just in case they do escape. We understand how important our fur babies are to us and we want to do everything we can to keep them safe and calm. Let's have a happy and stress-free holiday for both us and our dogs. #fireworksafety #protectyourpets #doglovers

As you set up spooky decorations and prepare for Halloween, remember that fire safety is key to a fun and safe night! Here are some quick tips: Use Battery-Operated Candles – Safer than open flames for jack-o’-lanterns and decorations! Check Your Decorations – Ensure they’re flame-resistant or flame-retardant. Avoid Overloading Outlets: Plugging in too many Halloween lights and decorations can overload outlets and cause electrical fires. Use surge protectors and keep cords away from walkways to prevent accidents. Even with the best precautions, a fire can still happen.
