Fireworks Safety 2020 | Consumer Product Safety Commission

This is a government video about firework safety. Tips to Celebrate Safely this July 4th: Never allow young children to play with, or ignite, fireworks, including sparklers. Sparklers burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit—hot enough to melt some metals. Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy, in case of fire or other mishap. Light fireworks one at a time, then move away quickly. Never try to relight or handle malfunctioning fireworks. Soak them with water and throw them away. Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when lighting the fuse. Move to a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks. Never point or throw fireworks (including sparklers) at anyone. After fireworks complete their burning, douse the spent device with plenty of water from a bucket or hose before discarding the device to prevent a trash fire. Make sure fireworks are legal in your area, and only purchase fireworks that are labeled for consumer (not professional) use. More firework safety information: https://www.cpsc.gov/Saf…/Safety-Educ...
