Fireworks

Safety tips from the National Council on Fireworks Safety

• Use fireworks outdoors only.
• Obey local laws. If fireworks are not legal where you live, do not use them!
• Always have water handy (a hose or buckets of water).
• Only use fireworks as intended. DO NOT try to alter them or combine them.
• Never re-light a “dud” firework (wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water).
• Use common sense when using fireworks. Spectators should keep a safe distance from the fireworks. The person lighting the fireworks should wear safety glasses.
• Alcohol and fireworks do not mix! Have a “designated” person light fireworks.
• Only persons over age 12 should be allowed to handle sparklers of any type.
• DO NOT ever use homemade fireworks or illegal explosives; they can kill! Report illegal explosives to the fire or police department in your community.
