A little care goes a long way. Follow these guidelines for a safe and joyful celebration with your family.
Always use fireworks in wide, open outdoor spaces away from trees and buildings.
Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby for emergencies and disposal.
Light only one firework at a time and move away quickly to a safe distance.
Maintain a safe distance of at least 5-10 meters from the fireworks after lighting.
Children should always be supervised by an adult when handling sparklers or crackers.
Choose snug-fitting cotton clothing to reduce fire risk while bursting crackers.
Never light fireworks indoors or in small enclosed areas. It's extremely hazardous.
Never hold lit crackers or rockets in your hand. Always plant them firmly on the ground.
If a firework fails to ignite, do not try to relight it. Wait 20 mins and soak it in water.
Avoid wearing loose or flammable synthetic clothing near fire. Stick to cotton.
Never aim, throw, or point fireworks at people, animals, or properties.
Never burst crackers under the influence of alcohol â stay alert and in control.
In Case of a Burn Emergency
Cool the burn with water immediately and seek medical help without delay.
