Fireworks Safety

Always light only one item at a time.
Never throw or point fireworks at another person.
Never carry fireworks in your pocket.
Always have water handy (a hose or bucket) and/or fire extinguisher.
Always have an adult present to supervise your fireworks fun.
Never allow children to play with or ignite fireworks.
Keep fireworks at arms length while lighting them.
Once fireworks are lit, stand clear of the area. If a firework does not ignite, first let it cool and then sweep it off to the side and douse with water.
Always store your fireworks safely in a cool, dry place, preferably in a closed box, away from any source of accidental ignition.

Only use fireworks as intended. Don't try to alter them or combine them.
Never relight a "dud" firework. Wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water.
Use common sense. Spectators should keep a safe distance from the shooter and the shooter should wear safety glasses.
Alcohol and fireworks do not mix. Have a "designated shooter".
Do not ever use homemade fireworks of illegal explosives: They can kill you!
When lighting sparklers, keep 6 feet distance between each other.
Only persons over the age of 12 should be allowed to handle sparklers of any type.
Make sure children only have one sparkler at a time.
Children should not wear loose clothing while handling sparklers.
Never shoot (fire) fireworks from metal or glass containers.
PETS can be frightened by loud noises and bright flashes. Keep your pets indoors while enjoying your fireworks.
