Fireworks can be very dangerous when handled improperly, so keep in mind the following safety tips: never let children handle, play with, or light any fireworks; store fireworks in a cool, dry place away from the reach of children; use a clear, open area and keep your audience a safe distance from the shooting site; do not alter any fireworks device or attempt to make your own fireworks; only light one firework item at a time and never attempt to re-light or fix a “dud” firework; have a fire extinguisher, water supply, hose, or bucket of water nearby; and be cautious when lighting fireworks when it is windy.
Also, be cautious when lighting fireworks when it is windy, never smoke or drink alcoholic beverages while handling fireworks, and never aim, point, or throw fireworks at another person.
