Fireworks bring excitement and joy to celebrations, but safety must always come first. Mishandling fireworks can cause harm not only to yourself but also to those around you. Follow these essential safety precautions to enjoy a spectacular and accident-free display.
Buying Fireworks Safely
✔ Choose only licensed fireworks manufacturers to ensure quality and safety.
✔ Avoid illegal and oversized fireworks that do not meet safety standards.
✔ Check labels for proper manufacturer details—never purchase unbranded or unmarked fireworks.
Before You Light Fireworks
✔ Read all safety instructions carefully before use.
✔ Keep fireworks out of children’s reach and allow only adults to handle them.
✔ Do not consume alcohol while handling or lighting fireworks.
✔ Store fireworks in a dry, cool place, away from heat, flames, and flammable materials.
✔ Do not modify or attempt to create homemade fireworks.
Safe Lighting Practices
✔ Place fireworks on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping. Use heavy objects for extra support if needed.
✔ Never hold fireworks in your hand while lighting, except for designated handheld items like sparklers.
✔ Light fireworks from the side, keeping an arm’s length distance, then move away immediately to a safe distance.
✔ Take wind conditions into account—never ignite fireworks in strong winds.
✔ Never lean over a firework, lit or unlit.
Firework Firing Safety
✔ Ensure a clear, open space, free from trees, buildings, power lines, and flammable materials.
✔ Keep spectators at a safe distance—at least 25 meters away from the firing zone.
✔ Close windows and doors to prevent stray fireworks from entering homes.
✔ Have a water source nearby, such as a bucket of water, sand, or a hose, in case of emergencies.
What to Avoid
🚫 Never relight or handle fireworks that fail to ignite. Wait 15 minutes, then soak them in water.
🚫 Do not use matches, candles, or lighters to ignite fireworks. Use a joss stick, mosquito coil, or long lighter for safety.
🚫 Never store defective or unused fireworks inside your home. Dispose of them properly by soaking them in water first.
🚫 Do not joke around or play pranks with fireworks. Mishandling can cause serious injuries.
Final Safety Reminders
✔ Follow the required safety distances for both users and spectators.
✔ Wear protective gear such as safety glasses, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. Avoid synthetic fabrics like polyester.
✔ If conditions feel unsafe, do not proceed. A delayed show is better than an accident.
By following these fireworks safety rules, you can enjoy a dazzling display while keeping yourself and others safe. Celebrate responsibly with Leegendary Fireworks!
