You chuck a firework through a bedroom window, the chances it will land on the bed, almost a certainty.
The bed contains a lot of flammable material... cotton, maybe down pillows,
Will they burn?...
Unless the home owner has gone to major extents to buy fire resistant everything, my estimate is it will burn.
As to who would do this, I say take them to the local hospital and make them work on the Burns ward for a few years...... make them face up to firework and gunpowder burs.
That will show them how dangerous fireworks are.
The local fire station came to my school, and showed us some specially commissioned footage from themselves putting out fires cause by our own 5th November bonfire night.
That year, exactly NONE of the kids who saw that flm, were injured by fireworks.
Some lost their breakfast whilst watching the film, but none lost fingers, or eyes, or lives.
I say that is a result, and long may it continue, I hope it has effects even today on those that saw that film.
I just wish they would use it today...
I have asked, and the station commander remembered the film, he says they had to scrap it, because it was "Too Graphic", and upset too many kids....
He agrees with me.
It did its job.
If it upsets you now, good, because having to face that in REAL LIFE, when your sister, brother, mom, dad, own kid is lying in a hospital bed?... thats much much worse.
Sometimes kids need to get upset before the lesson hits home.
TLW, help me here, we have Bonfire night, you have the Independence day, are they similar?... EVERYONE you can get hold of is on watch that night, and ready to respond to incidents?...
