Firecrackers

How to light

1. Pick a flat, hard, clear spot, like a driveway, away from homes, cars and dry brush.
2. Read the label on every item and set it up the way it says.
3. Light the fuse at arm’s length with an extended lighter or a punk. Never lean over a firework.
4. Step back right away, and light one item at a time.

Stay safe

• Keep a hose or a full bucket of water within reach.
• Bring pets inside before the show starts.
• Never relight a dud. Wait at least 20 minutes, then soak it in water.
• Soak every spent firework in water before it goes in the trash.
