Alcohol impairs your senses, judgement, and reaction time. Impairment leads to accidents, injuries, and possibly death. Be a responsible adult ~ don’t consume alcohol and handle fireworks.
To alert you to any emergency that may arise, keep a fire extinguisher, water hose, or a bucket of water near by to douse any flames. Appoint another responsible adult as a spotter to alert you to any emergency that me arise and be ready with the water source.
Keep a First Aid Kit neaby for treatment of minor burns.
Never try and relight a “dud” or any firework that has failed to ignite or gone out. Let the item stand for at least twenty minutes and then immerse it in water overnight. Then properly dispose of the item.
The hot debris left over from the sparkler can burn someone if they step on it.
This includes cotton or denim clothing, long pants, eye protection, covered shoes, and (if necessary) ear protection.
Keep fireworks away from open flames, including cigarettes. Never smoke around fireworks.
Never use fireworks indoors.
Keep spectators a safe distance away from the display. We recommend at least 35 feet for fountains and other ground items and 300 feet for aerial items.
Follow your State and Local laws regarding the use of consumer fireworks. Use only fireworks permitted by law in your State or local jurisdiction.
Be sure to carefully read item labels to make sure you understand the product’s performance and potential hazards prior to ignition.
A hard level surface will help insure the stability of the items you are lighting. Grass is not generally a good surface to use as it may allow items to tip or fall over. If you must light fireworks on a grass surface then place a large, flat, wooden board down first as a shooting surface.
Never place any body part over the top of a firework product. Never look into a firework tube to see if the item has fired. Never hold a firework item in your hands. When lighting a firework item, ignite the fuse and then step away to a safe distance.
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses to protect your eyes. Anyone lighting or in close proximity to the fireworks needs to wear eye protection.
Never light fireworks in heavy wind conditions. Keep spectators safe by having the prevailing winds blowing away from them.
Always keep your neighbors in mind and inform them when you will be lighting fireworks. Better yet, invite them over to enjoy the show!
