Choose a safe place to let off your
fireworks. Check that there is plenty of open space well away from anything which could
catch fire. |
|
Make sure there is a good supply of
water available. |
|
Store and carry your fireworks
carefully and safely. Keep them out of reach of young children. Keep them in a closed box
or bag away from heat and flames and do not carry fireworks in your pockets. |
|
Have an adult with you to help and
supervise. It is much safer for an adult to light fireworks. |
|
Read the instructions carefully on
your fireworks, preferably before Guy Fawkes night and read each one again before you
light it (remember to have a torch). |
|
Stand your fireworks in dirt, sand
or on a firm flat surface. |
|
Light your fireworks at arms length
and then stand well back. Keep well clear of fireworks which have been lit but have not
gone off. |
|
Keep animals away from fireworks.
Please remember that throwing fireworks can injure people and animals and damage property.
