DARK NIGHTS CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED BY SERVICES A campaign to keep people safe and reduce demand on the emergency services in South Yorkshire over Halloween and Bonfire Night launched this week. South Yorkshire Police, South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue and Yorkshire Ambulance Service run operation Dark Nights every year. After a slightly different year last year, this year the campaign has seen police and fire officers once again able to visit schools over the past few weeks to educate children on how to stay safe. Throughout the school halfterm holidays and bonfire period, officers will also be out patrolling in known antisocial behaviour ‘hot spot’ areas. All of the services are asking

people across the county to be 999 wise – especially on Bonfire Night – to help keep their resources free for genuine emergencies. For the police, this means only calling 999 if you are experiencing an emergency or someone’s life is in danger and using alternative ways to report non-emergency crime. Silver Commander for Dark Nights, Chief Inspector Lee Carlson: “Your neighbourhood teams will be out and about in the evenings throughout this period, working hard to make sure that everyone can have an enjoyable and safe time. “This is an extremely busy time for officers and our call handlers and I would urge people to think before calling 999 or 101. We need your

support to ensure we are able to respond to the people who need us the most. “Our call handlers have to prioritise the calls coming into our control room. So if you need to report a nonemergency crime, please make use of online reporting on our website- https:// www.southyorks.police.uk/ reportsomething/.” Officers from the fire service are asking people to ring their control room to tell them about planned bonfires – to avoid unnecessary calls during the bonfire period. The fire service is also urging people to attend organised fireworks displays, which they say are safer and more spectacular, rather than having their own.

Station Manager Steve Jones, from the joint fire and police community safety department, said: “Each year we get a small spike in incidents on and around Bonfire Night. We have identified three things the public can do to help us reduce incidents and keep people safe. “Firstly, make sure your bins are in and there’s no loose rubbish on your street that could be set alight. Secondly, if you are having a bonfire, make sure you stay with it and keep it in hand. “Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, by letting our control room staff know you’re having a bonfire you can potentially reduce the amount of times we get called out to garden bonfires. “The people that call these in

are well meaning callers, and we’d always encourage people to call 999 if they discover a fire or need our help, but if we know you’re having a bonfire we will know not to send firefighters to spoil your party.” If you want to know more about what we are doing in your area this Dark Nights period, sign up to SYP Alerts.
