Fireworks are one of the most exhilarating and fun activities when they are handled properly. Here are our top 10 tips from Extreme Fireworks to keep the fun both safe and enjoyable.
Purchase fireworks only from licensed and authorized sellers to ensure quality and safety.
Always read and follow the instructions carefully before using fireworks.
Do not allow children to handle or ignite fireworks. Always have adult supervision.
Keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby in case of fire or other accidents.
Never hold a lit firework or aim it at another person or property.
Only light fireworks outdoors in a clear, open area away from buildings, trees, and dry grass.
Do not attempt to relight a “dud” firework that has not fully ignited. Wait for 20 minutes and then soak it in water before disposing of it.
Wear protective clothing such as eye protection, gloves, and long sleeves to minimize the risk of injury.
Avoid consuming alcohol while using fireworks, as it can impair judgment and increase the risk of accidents.
Dispose of used fireworks by soaking them in water and placing them in a metal trash can away from buildings and combustible materials.
With these basic rules, 4th of July will be both colorful and worry-free!
