Hide AdFire service advice states that those having a bonfire should choose a large, clear and well-mown area free from obstructions, well away from any buildings, trees and hazards like overhead cables, with as many safe entrances and exits as possible.
There should also be fire extinguishers, buckets of water, buckets of sand and metal litter bins on site.
