- Children should never be allowed to play with fireworks and should be supervised when playing with sparklers.
- Fireworks should be lit only on flat surfaces away from houses, flammable materials and dry leaves.
- All warning and instructions should be read and followed.
- If a firework does not go off, don't try to relight it.
- Always keep a bucket of water nearby in case of fire or malfunction.
