 Advanced Consumer Fireworks Safety

Reloadables: should only be fired  from cardboard, HDPE, or fiberglass. Do NOT use PVC for mortars.

Unwind and straighten all of the  shell fuses well ahead of start time. Keep your unfired shells in a container  with a lid, and keep that container well away from the firing line.

Rockets: fire from a stable  launcher with sticks un-restrained. Be mindful or where sticks will land

Cakes: brace cakes or glue to  boards

Fountains: brace or glue to board.

Sparklers: Can get to 1600* ,metal  sticks and hot remnants of safety sticks will come loose. Children Need Close  supervision!! #1 Cause of Consumer product injuries.

Crackers: Hand hold  nothing….crackers are better strung up or salutes should be hung for better  effect.

Wear safety gear (goggles,  hat/helmet, cotton clothes) when hand lighting fireworks.

Illegal salutes are not worth the  risk of safety nor federal penalties that come with them. Please keep them far  from my kids! THESE are not fireworks.

Preloaded tubes/launchers: brace,  brace, brace, many of these shoot straight up over a hundred feet or more, they  seem to go even further sideways. Have a reasonable safety zone around your  shoot site. Do not shoot into or over any area you cannot control, such as over  a neighbors property, or a public street.

Fusing and e-fire allows for more  effects to be used and timing. getting trendy to e-fire shows, we suggest this  as a great way to enhance your celebration (Even if you are celebrating lighting  of fireworks)

Never Ever put anything over the  tube you want to keep: hands, ears, eyeballs, facial features.

Absolutely NO consumption of  alcohol or drugs during setup, teardown or firing of a show. Save that for  afterwards.
