• Never purchase fireworks packaged in brown paper.
• Use of fireworks and sparklers should always be supervised by an adult.
• Light fireworks one at a time, then immediately back away to a safe distance.
• Always ensure that people and pets are out of range before lighting fireworks.
• Light fireworks outdoors on a driveway at least 25 feet away from houses and highly flammable materials such as dry grass or mulch.
• Always keep a bucket of water or a running garden hose handy in case of fire or other mishap.
• Douse spent fireworks and sparklers in a bucket of water before discarding them.
NEVER:

• Try to re-light or pick up fireworks that have not ignited fully.
• Point or throw fireworks at other people.
• Carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers.
