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.
