Fireworks Safety Tips

1. Purchase from Reliable Sources:

Ensure that the fireworks you buy are legal and purchased from reputable vendors. This guarantees their quality and adherence to safety standards.

2. Read the Instructions:

Carefully read and follow the instructions provided with each firework. Understanding how to light and handle them properly is crucial to your safety.

3. Outdoor Use Only:

Fireworks should always be used outdoors! They need to be lit in open spaces away from buildings, dry grass, or other flammable materials. Follow local laws and regulations regarding fireworks usage.

4. Adult Supervision:

Never allow children to handle fireworks unsupervised. Adults should maintain constant supervision to ensure everyone’s safety.

5. Keep Water Handy:

Have a bucket of water or a hose nearby to extinguish fireworks afterward. Soak used fireworks in water before disposing of them to prevent accidental fires.

6. One at a Time:

Light fireworks one at a time and maintain a safe distance. Never try to relight a firework that did not properly ignite.
