Fireworks are a thrilling way to mark special occasions, but it’s crucial to prioritize safety to ensure a memorable experience for all the right reasons. Here are some essential tips for fireworks safety:

 Follow Local Laws and Regulations:

-  Before purchasing fireworks it's important to first familiarize yourself with the fireworks laws and regulations in your area. Some regions have restrictions on the types of fireworks allowed or when they can be used. Adhere to these laws and respect your community’s guidelines.

Purchase from Reputable Sources Only:

- Always buy fireworks from licensed retailers like Lee's Family Fireworks to ensure they meet safety standards and are legal in your area. Avoid purchasing homemade or illegal fireworks, as they can be extremely dangerous.

Read and Follow Instructions Thoroughly:

- Carefully read and follow the instructions that can be found on the packaging of all fireworks. Each type of firework may have specific usage guidelines, including how to light and handle them safely.

Have / Wear the Proper Equipment:

- Keep a fire extinguisher and a bucket of water or a hose nearby when using fireworks. These can be handy in case of any accidents or emergencies. Also make sure you are wearing goggles and gloves while also avoiding baggy clothing. In case of accidents, have a first aid kit readily available. Familiarize yourself with basic first aid techniques incase of injury.

 Use Fireworks in an Open Area:

- Always use fireworks in a clear, open area away from buildings, trees, and other flammable objects. Make sure there are no people or animals in the vicinity, and maintain a safe distance from the fireworks when lighting them.

Keep Spectators at a Safe Distance:

- Ensure that all spectators, including children and pets, are at a safe distance from the fireworks display. Consider setting up a designated viewing area and clearly mark it to avoid any accidental wandering into the danger zone.

Never Relight a "Dud" Firework:

- If you have a "dud" firework, do not attempt to relight it. Wait for at least 20 minutes, soak it in water, and then dispose of it properly.

The Disposal of Fireworks:

- After the fireworks display, dispose of the used fireworks by first soaking them in water and placing them in a metal container. Store them in a secure location away from heat sources until they can be properly disposed of.

 You can now ensure a fun and memorable celebration without compromising on safety. Remember, safety should always be the top priority when handling fireworks to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your property. Visit Lee's Family Fireworks to let us light up your night sky safely!
