There are thousands of injuries each year both from the fire and fireworks and the fumes bonfires can let off, experts at Logs Direct explained.
They shared the materials you should never burn as these can be "incredibly harmful".
In particular, the experts advised homeowners to steer clear of wood that has been painted or varnished.
They said: "Wood with varnished or painted finishes cannot be burnt.
"When it burns, it releases PM 2.5, which are very small particulates, into the air as you stand around breathing in.
"These particulates can be taken into your lungs and can be incredibly harmful to your health."
If hosting any bonfire night activities, it is wise to keep up-to-date with the latest Government advice on what is allowed and the best practice.
