Stay Safe and Get the Most Out of Every Pack
Firecrackers move fast once the fuse is lit. A few simple habits before and during use make every pack count and keep everyone around you safe.
- Place each pack flat on a hard, non-flammable surface before lighting. Concrete or asphalt works best. Never light on grass, wood, or near any dry material.
- Light the fuse and step back immediately. Do not linger over the pack after ignition. Distance is your best protection.
- Keep all spectators behind a clear safety line before lighting. Set the boundary before the first pack goes down, not after.
- Never light more packs than you can manage at one time. Sequence your show in advance and stick to the plan so nothing gets out of hand.
- Store unused packs in a cool, dry place away from heat and flame. Half bricks are easy to store between uses as long as conditions are right.
- Keep children at a distance and away from the firing area. Adults only should handle setup, ignition, and post-show cleanup.
- Soak any misfired packs in water for at least 20 minutes before disposal. Never pick up or investigate a pack that did not fully fire right away.
