Please download both our covering letter to you, the applicant, as well as the application pack:
You should return your application to the Council as soon as possible, and all applications must be received by 4pm on Wednesday 15 October 2008. Any applications received after this date will not be considered.
The Fire service will contact you directly, if they need to make a site assessment of your event.
If the Fire Service is satisfied that your event meets the criteria for the scheme, they will inform us, and we will send you your registration document, and place your event on our website.
You must ensure you return a copy of your Public Liability Insurance for the event, otherwise your application will be returned to you.
You are responsible for health and safety of your event, and you should ensure that all the necessary risk assessments have been conducted prior to the event. You will also need to conduct a risk assessment on the night of your planned event and keep this under review during the event as weather conditions can change rapidly, which can affect the safety of a bonfire or firework display.
For detailed fire safety guidance, please contact Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service’s Fire Safety team on 01298 22222.
For any further advice, you should contact Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Council is the administrator of the joint initiative, and the Fire Service make all assessments on site and event safety for the scheme.
