Things You'll Need:

  • safety precautions
  • common sense
  • awareness of danger
  1. Step 1

    Fireworks are without a doubt beautiful, exciting and amazing. They light up the sky and never any more so than on the 4th of July in America. However, there are many considerations when purchasing them.

  2. Step 2

    Cherry Bombs and B-52' s are known as the two most dangerous types of fireworks. Please be aware of this and make sure IF you just have to buy them that someone who is experienced with them is firing them and that small children are far away for them.

    Purchase fireworks that are age appropriate for the ones who will be using them. Sprinklers are good for little children and Roman candles and firecrackers are good for the entire family.

  4. Step 4

    Make sure that one person at a time is shooting any fireworks and make sure that everyone in the group is turned in the same direction. Do not let anyone join several firecrackers of any type of fireworks be used at one time. This is very dangerous and can result in major injuries for one or more people.
