A six year old girl has suffered serious injuries as a result of a firework at the Nevill bonfire Saturday night in Lewes.
The young girl was with her mother in the society enclosure and has also suffered injuries as a result of the firework.
If anyone has witnessed the event or recorded the display please contact DC Cherryman on 101 ext 577113 or matthew.cherryman@sussex.pnn.police.uk
Thank you in advance for all your help.

I was worried about the lack of police on the night. My garden was over run with drunk teenagers. About time something was done about it.

This injury was due to a malfunction of a firework in the display. It's an issue of whether children should be so close to the display but I imagine plenty of people will shortly provide their well argued expertise in this matter!

Hope she's ok and all ends well

Strange comment parent, or did it go in the wrong thread, this isn't about the policing on the night but an accident on the firesite that has left a young girl injured!!!!

As strong an argument as possible to end this ridiculous annual injury ritual. But lets just brush it under the carpet like the injuries that will happen on the 5th
Pathetic

Absolutely right Guy, and whilst they are banning it perhaps they should also ban driving, electricity, having sharp objects in your house, contact sports, doing DIY, snow etc. etc. The list of things that might injure you goes on and on!

There were alot of Joe Public in the bonfire members area, and as far as im aware, the mum and child were Joe Public. I watched the display and i saw nothing malfunction, certainly no fireworks came into the crowd. Saying this, i hope she makes a speedy recovery but lets not point the finger to quickly.

Incorrect
Both were dressed, not civvies
Wether they are members or not is another matter
Don't comment as you obviously didn't see the incident
People like you spreading gossip and here say do bonfire to good

Surely the purpose of this post was to ask social media users to assist in the investigation that needs to be carried out now firstly everybody should be wishing the young girl a speedy recovery
Then and only then should we do all that is possible to actually find out the true events of the evening rather than hear say so as to make sure that this cannot happen again

This is a thread from the police asking for witness not who done what and when. I hope the mother and daughter are ok.

Not sure why I have so many down votes but it looked like a firework coming down from where we were at the barrier. Is that incorrect. Imagine someone must have it on their phone?

What a twattish yet predictable reply Penguin. Virtually all those things you mention are unavoidable or vital to daily life. Ceasing the setting light to explosive devices purely for visual enjoyment isn't going to stop the world. Is it? Be honest.

Thanks for your kind response Guy, what a gent you are! In answer to your question, no, it would not stop the world, but then carrying on isn't likely to either. Is it. Be honest!

No it won't. It will just injure a few more people instead. But I suppose that's ok with you lot. As long as you get your fun to Hell with anyone else

You don't have to go and watch. It is your own choice and yes there is a chance it could be dangerous! Hope they make a full and quick recovery.

A child suffers a serious injury from a firework at an organised display. I suggest measures that would prevent it and am insulted by the bonfire-at-whatever-cost mob. It just about sums you lot up. I'm sure YOUR solution of sending get well soon messages will help no end in the future.

People have a choice whether they want to go, Guy. There aren't many things in this world that don't contain some sort of risk...going to the zoo, funfairs, football matches, even going shopping. But incidents of injury are pretty low and yes, one injury through a dodgy firework is one too many but come on, let's put a bit of perspective on it. It was an accident and hopefully, with various risk assessments etc, it will make future events even safer.

But Guy. You didn't suggest measures to avoid it at all. You just suggested banning it all together. If you have these suggestions you claim to as a health and safety expert feel free to share.
