Fireworks Safety

Fireworks can cause serious damage and injury if used in an unsafe and irresponsible manner.

All fireworks must be used in a manner which will not endanger any person or animal, or damage property.

Each firework should have clear instructions printed on the packaging, describing what it does and how to use it safely. Use the firework in accordance with these instructions. If your firework does not have this information, do not use it.

Ensure that fireworks are stored out of reach of children and away from any potential sources of ignition.

Use fireworks in clear open spaces, at a safe distance from buildings, vehicles or vegetation.

Do not lean over the firework or hold a firework in your hand while it is being lit, and keep spectators at least 5m away from the firing site.

Protect animals by keeping pets safely indoors. Fireworks should not be used in areas where they could harm wildlife.

Ensure that a garden hose or bucket of water is readily available in case of a fire.
