If you live in a city that allows the use of fireworks, here are some tips for doing it safely: • Never buy or use illegal fireworks. • Only adults should light fireworks. • Never hold lighted fireworks with your hand or place them near the body. • Fireworks should only be used outdoors. • Obey local laws. If fireworks are not legal where you live, do not use them. • Always have water handy in case of a fire. • Wear safety eyewear when using fireworks. • Soak used fireworks in water before discarding. • Never try to relight a firework. • Soak spent fireworks with water before placing them in an outdoor garbage can. • If you are injured using fireworks, seek immediate medical attention. • Never allow young children to play with or go near fireworks, including sparklers. They seem harmless but sparklers can reach temperatures of 2,000 degrees. • Never handle fireworks if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
