Garda warning ahead of Halloween festivities.

Tipperary Gardaí are appealing to people to ensure that they stay a safe distance away from bonfires and fireworks this evening. 

As hundreds of children across the county prepare for a night of trick-or-treating, the emergency services are preparing for the busiest night of the year. 

Those planning bonfires are being urged not to light them close to residential areas, to ensure they have adult supervision and that children stay well back from the flames. 

Sergeant DJ Dwyer is also asking businesses not to supply fuel such as tyres and pallets for the fires.
