Safety Tips

Follow State & Local Law

Make sure you follow both state and local laws & ordinances when referring to the possession and discharge of fireworks. 

Do not Use Alcohol With Fireworks

Stay away from alcohol when planning to ignite fireworks. Fireworks must only be used by adults who act responsibly, and must not be under the influence of neither alcohol nor drugs. 

Use Fireworks on a Flat, Level, and Hard Surface

Do not light off fireworks in your hand! Always place your product on a flat, level, and hard surface to insure the safety of everyone around. If shooting your fireworks off grass, we suggest laying a flat wooden board on the ground for a more stable shooting surface. 

Use in an Open Area

Keep all viewers, especially children, a safe distance from where you plan on shooting your fireworks. Always light your fireworks in an open area, far from buildings and vehicles. We suggest a minimum distance of 50 feet for fountains and other ground-based items and 100 yards for any aerial product. Avoid lighting fireworks in an area where there is any dry grass, brush, or other easily combustible materials. Never shoot fireworks out of glass or metal containers. 

Keep Water Close By

Always have a fire extinguisher, hose, or buckets of water nearby in case of emergencies.

Use Care in Lighting Fireworks

Always light fireworks using a punk, road flare, or extended butane lighter giving you the most distance from the product when lighting it possible. Use a flashlight in order to see your fuses at night. Never use a lantern or other flame producing devices near fireworks in order to see your fuses. 

Only Use Fireworks Outdoors

Never ignite fireworks indoors!

Children Should Not Handle Fireworks

NEVER let children handle, play with or light any fireworks. Only responsible adults should handle and light the fireworks. 

Soak Fireworks After Use

After using fireworks, soak the spent items thoroughly with water to prevent them from re-igniting. Let them soak overnight. Never bring fireworks that have been fired indoors. 

Don't Use Malfunctioning Fireworks

Never try to re-ignite, repair, or reuse malfunctioning or "dud" fireworks.

Read All Labels

Read all directions, cautions, labels and warnings on each individual firework to understand the product performance and hazards associated with the use of the item. 

Stabilize Every Item

Stabilize repeater cakes and mortar tubes using cement blocks or bricks to prevent them from tipping over while firing.
