Supervise individuals 18 and under when they use fireworks.
Buy only from reliable fireworks sellers.
Read and follow all warnings and instructions.
Use fireworks outdoors only and keep away from houses and flammable materials.
Have a bucket of water nearby.
Do not try to relight or handle malfunctioning fireworks. Soak them in water and throw them away.

Store fireworks in a cool, dry place according to their specific storage instructions.
Never experiment or attempt to make your own fireworks.
Do not wear loose clothing near a fire or while using fireworks.

Educate children about the dangers of fireworks and teach them to practice safety at all times.
