It's Bonfire Night and you may be having your own fireworks in your back garden.
Organised displays across Merseyside including the city's own River of Light display have been cancelled.
But that doesn't mean you can't have your own celebrations at home.
Some of you might be having your own party with hot dogs and toffee apples and what better to finish your Bonfire Night off with some sparklers.
But it's so important to be careful with sparklers as they can reach up to 2000°C.
However, pyrotechnic company Galactic Fireworks have come up with a clever hack to protect your children's hands and all you need is - a pepper.
You can use the pepper as a shield, simply cut the top of the bell pepper off and place the pepper below the end of the sparkler, so it stops burning before the pepper shield.
