The Do's & Don'ts of Fireworks

Following these basic guidelines ensures a fun, secure environment for your friends and family.

Read carefully: Always read and strictly follow the printed instructions on the firecracker box.
Store safely: Keep crackers stored in a cool, dry, tightly sealed box, away from any heat source.
Keep water close: Always keep a bucket of water and sand nearby to extinguish accidental sparks.
Safe distance: Maintain a safe distance and ignite fireworks using a long incense stick rather than matches.
Wear cotton: Dress in tightly fitted cotton clothes and closed shoes rather than loose synthetic garments.
Dispose wisely: Douse ignited sparklers and rockets in the water bucket before discarding.

No hand lighting: Never attempt to light any firecracker while holding it in your hands.
Do not bend over: Avoid bending directly over a firecracker while attempting to ignite its fuse.
Outdoor use only: Never ignite fireworks inside rooms, balconies, or near buildings and vehicles.
No pockets: Never carry individual loose firecrackers in your clothing or pockets.
No modification: Do not experiment with, open up, or create custom mixes of firecracker gunpowder.
No throwing: Never target or throw firecrackers at animals, people, or flammable property.

Parental Supervision

Children love the bright colors of sparklers, flower pots, and ground wheels, but their sensitive skin and quick movements require extra caution.

✓ Constant surveillance: Never leave children unattended around fireworks, even sparklers.
✓ Safe handling: Teach children to hold sparklers at arm's length and avoid running while holding them.
✓ Eye protection: Advise children to look away slightly or wear protective spectacles when lighting fireworks.

Quick Action

If an accident occurs, staying calm and acting quickly is vital. Follow these basic immediate measures:

Minor Burns: Wash immediately with cool, running water for 10-15 minutes. Do not apply ointment, oils, or butter.
Eye Injury: Do not rub the eye. Flush with clean, cold water and seek medical assistance immediately.
Clothing Fire: Stop, drop, and roll to extinguish flames. Wrap in a clean, thick blanket.
Property Fire: Call the local Fire Brigade immediately and clear all flammable items from the vicinity.
