Back up to a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks.Never try to re-light or pick up fireworks that have not ignited fully.Never point or throw fireworks at another person.Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fire or other mishap.Make sure fireworks are legal in your area before buying or using them.
