When setting up a bonfire night, several safety measures should be taken to protect individuals from potential harm. These measures include ensuring access to fire extinguishers and other emergency equipment, placing the bonfire at least five feet away from any flammable structures or materials, digging a pit for the bonfire deep enough that its heat does not damage nearby plants and trees. Additionally, those setting up the fire should keep their distance as all fires require oxygen to burn properly, creating too much of a space between people and the fire could cause smoke inhalation. Other safety considerations include providing shovels for stirring the fire while it is burning and having someone remain supervising at all times until it's out fully.

Before setting up a bonfire night, safety measures should be taken to ensure everyone's safety. These include ensuring the bonfire is in an open, grassy area away from trees and other obstructions; having a fire extinguisher or other fire control supplies near by; creating space for guests to keep a safe distance from the fire; taking precautions against pollution and smoke inhalation such as ventilators and face masks; have appropriate attire (such as long pants, sleeves and sturdy shoes) for any trip or scrape hazards.
