Firework Safety Tips
Celebrate safely — a few simple precautions keep everyone happy.
Fireworks are explosive. Adult supervision is essential at all times, especially around children.
Do's
- Read the instructions on each product before use.
- Light fireworks in an open, outdoor space away from buildings.
- Keep a bucket of water or sand and a first-aid kit nearby.
- Light one firework at a time, at arm's length, and step back quickly.
- Wear cotton clothes and keep footwear on.
- Store fireworks in a cool, dry place away from heat and flame.
- Soak used fireworks in water before disposal.
Don'ts
- Don't let children handle fireworks unsupervised.
- Don't relight a firework that failed to ignite — wait, then soak it in water.
- Don't hold lit fireworks in your hand (except handheld sparklers).
- Don't light fireworks indoors or near flammable material.
- Don't wear loose or synthetic clothing while lighting.
- Don't keep your face or body over a firework while lighting it.
- Don't experiment by combining or modifying fireworks.
In Case of an Accident
- For minor burns, hold the area under cool running water for at least 10 minutes.
- Do not apply toothpaste, oil, or ice to a burn.
- For eye injuries or serious burns, seek medical help immediately — do not rub the eye.
- Keep emergency and local hospital numbers handy during celebrations.
