Fireworks – Tips:
- Use protective gear when handling fireworks! Stay safe by wearing safety gloves and protective eyewear.
- Only sober adults should handle and light fireworks, even sparklers!
- Always assume that fireworks that did not go off are still live! Douse them with water before picking them up and never attempt to re-light them!
- Do you know how to properly discard used fireworks and sparklers? Place used fireworks in a bucket of water.
- Keep you and your neighbors safe while handling fireworks! Fireworks may not be discharged within 150 feet of a structure.
- Have you checked your local fireworks regulations? Some municipalities have time restrictions for when fireworks may be discharged.
- Be mindful of your location! Never allow your fireworks to land on someone else’s property.
- Did you know that sparklers can get hotter than a blowtorch? Children should never handle or light any fireworks including sparklers.
