Fireworks Safety

« Only use fireworks if they are legal in your area. Shooting fireworks illegally will likely result in fireworks confiscation by authorities (a waste of your money), fines or even jail time. « Follow the instructions for fireworks usage on the packaging. Use them only as intended. Do not try to combine fireworks to get a bigger bang or light display.

« Sparklers can be beautiful but also dangerous. Do not let children under the age of 12 handle sparklers.

« Fireworks should be operated solely by an adult. This adult should wear safety glasses. Spectators should keep a safe distance. « Never throw or point fireworks at someone, even in jest. « Fireworks are for outdoor use only. Do not light them indoors and then carry them outside. « Keep water in a bucket and a hose nearby for safety reasons. « Don't hold fireworks in your hand or have any part of your body over them while lighting.
