Fireworks illuminate our festive joy. Follow these certified safety precautions and emergency guidelines to protect yourself, your children, and your neighborhood.
Celebrations should never turn into emergencies. Practicing these 4 basic habits ensures a worry-free festive night for everyone at home.
Always burst fireworks in wide, open outdoor areas. Keep at least 15 feet clear from dry trees, parked cars, thatched roofs, and electric power lines.
Use long incense sticks (agarbatti) or sparkler candles. Never lean your face or chest directly over the firework while igniting the wick.
Always have two large buckets filled with water and dry sand. Immediately immerse hot burnt sparkler wires to avoid accidental foot burns.
Never allow children to handle or light crackers unattended. Keep toddlers at a safe viewing distance behind an adult.
Different fireworks require distinct precautions. Master the correct technique for each category before lighting up.
