Fifty Shades of Red: Fire Brigades Issue Warning Ahead of ‘Fifty Shades’ Release

A number of the warnings have been issued ahead of this weekend’s hugely anticipated release of Fifty Shades of Grey. First, we had B&Q warning their staff to be ready for an increase in sales and now, fire brigades have stated that they expect to be extra busy this weekend. According to reports, fire chiefs in London have warned people to “think carefully” before they start messing with handcuffs and other objects.

They also warned that they will be tweeting the most embarrassing call-outs it gets over the weekend and we’re sure that plenty of others will follow suit, A campaign called Fifty Shades of Red has also been kicked off by fire brigades which asks people to stop and take a moment to think of what the possible outcome of compromising situations could be.

“The Fifty Shades effect seems to spike handcuff incidents so we hope film goers will use common sense and avoid leaving themselves red faced,” said Officer Dave Brown.
