Fireworks Safety Tips

SAFE PRACTICES

Always have adult supervision while using fireworks.

Quickly light only one firework at a time.

Always use a "punk" to ignite the fireworks. Punks burn without an open flame and provide a greater, safer distance between your hand and the firework.

Never point or throw fireworks at people.

Never place any fireworks in container to ignite.

Keep fireworks away from small children.

Do not alter or make your own fireworks.

Never use fireworks while drinking alcohol.

Never use fireworks inside of a vehicle or building.

Never ignite aerial fireworks where trees, eaves, wires, etc. may interfere with trajectory into open air space.
