Safety Tips for Fireworks:

1. Always read and follow the label directions on fireworks packaging before use.

2. Never allow young children to handle fireworks.

3. Always have an adult present when using fireworks.

4. Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to re-light or fix a “dud” firework.

5. Never throw or point fireworks at another person.

6. Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fire or other mishap.

7. Light fireworks away from buildings, dry leaves and flammable materials.

8. Dispose of spent fireworks by wetting them down and place in a metal trash can away from any building or combustible materials until the next day when they are cool to the touch.

9. Never use homemade fireworks or illegal explosives: they can be very dangerous!
