Register Your Firework Display – A Quick Guide
Registering your firework display on Firework Pet Alert is one of the easiest ways to be a considerate neighbour. It’s free, takes less than 60 seconds, and helps people in the surrounding area prepare by giving them a friendly heads-up.
Why Register Your Firework Display?
When people know a display is planned, they can:
- Bring pets inside and settle them
- Close windows and curtains
- Prepare children for the noise
- Plan around noise sensitivities
You’re not asking permission. You’re showing consideration — and that builds genuine goodwill within your community.
Who Should Register?
Anyone setting off fireworks.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re:
- A professional display company running a public show
- A local rugby club organising a fundraiser
- A wedding planner adding a spectacular finale
- A family celebrating a birthday, Diwali, Eid, or another special occasion
- A group welcoming in the New Year
If your fireworks are likely to be heard beyond your garden, it’s worth registering them.
What Information Do We Need?
The form is deliberately simple:
- Date of the display
- Approximate start time
- Location of the display (used to calculate which nearby subscribers should receive an alert — exact locations are never shown publicly)
- Email address (for a one-time verification — never shared)
Optionally, you can also add:
- Estimated duration
- Approximate display size (small, medium, or large)
- Whether you’re using low-noise fireworks
What Happens Next?
- You submit the form — it takes around 60 seconds.
- We send a verification email to confirm the submission is genuine.
- Once verified, we calculate an approximate notification area based on the display location.
- Subscribers within that area receive an alert, typically up to 72 hours before the display, allowing them time to prepare.
That’s it. No account required, no marketing emails, and no unnecessary data collection.
Privacy and Your Data
We take privacy seriously:
- The exact location provided for the display is never shown publicly. We only display an approximate notification area so nearby residents and pet owners can prepare.
- Your email address is never shared and is used solely for verification.
- Data is encrypted and handled in accordance with UK GDPR principles.
How to Be an Even Better Neighbour
Registering your display is a great start, but a few extra steps can make an even bigger difference:
- Consider low-noise fireworks — they’re increasingly available and can still create a spectacular display.
- Start and finish at sensible times, particularly on weekdays or outside peak firework season.
- Let immediate neighbours know personally — a quick conversation or note through the door goes a long way.
- Clear up debris the following day, especially if any has landed on neighbouring properties.
Fireworks are brilliant. They bring people together and help celebrate life’s biggest moments. A 60-second registration can make a huge difference by helping pet owners and local residents prepare in advance.
Register your display now — it’s free, fast, and makes a real difference.
