In an appeal published on social media, the council is asking people to keep Waterford safe by reporting the storage and collection of materials for bonfires and fireworks. 

In the post, they stated: "Please remember that bonfires and fireworks are dangerous. They cause injury to children each year, terrify pets and damage your environment."
