Why 5th of November is such a busy time for the emergency services?
The build up to the 5th of November is the busiest time of the year for the emergency services in England because the State thinks we should change our clocks twice yearly - going back in the last weekend in October making it darker earlier in the evenings so making it harder to see the children playing after escaping from school following a week without school due to half term.
Remember the 5th of November is the day that thousands of members of the general Public let of tons of gun powder based explosives (fireworks) to commentate the failure of Guy Forks to set off the tons of explosive (gun powder) he had packed into the tunnel under the Houses of Parliament during the state opening.
The third source of problems is people having a big bonfire too close to their sheds or houses and not realizing everything, including you, will burn if exposed to Oxygen (air) and a source of heat.
If you do get your clothes on fire lie down on the ground and smother the flames in a blanket or place running water at the base of the flames for 10 minutes.
The best way to enjoy the festivities is to go to an organized event often on the nearest Saturday.
