Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm David Hunter with Expert Village. Today we're going to be talking about fireworks, the different types and safety tips. We're going to talk about supplies you will need to have your firework show for you and your neighbors to enjoy. First you're going to need a regular lighter; it's a household lighter, most people have them-Bic lighters. You can also purchase from a hardware store or a Wal-Mart store. You can get the fireplace lighters which are a little bit more extended. You also need some puck lighters which they are the little incense that you buy. You light them, they'll stay red on the end, they'll burn for probably around 20 minutes, it saves those fingertips from light those fuses and also for the kids it's a lot safer method than having them play with a lighter. Of course the first and up most item that you will need is a tub. It is very necessary to have this tub. You will need to get it or a bucket, a 5 gallon bucket, fill it up about halfway with water, keep it sitting next door to your location of where you're going to shoot your fireworks. This is in case you have dud or a misfire, you'll know how to properly dispose of that because it needs to be submerged in the water and that'll way you're safe and the audience is safe also. Also a good thing to get is goggles because when you’re shooting products like bottle rockets, they're very necessary to use to keep safety not only for you but the people around you when trying to shoot things like bottle rockets or projectiles that go up into the air. Simply because a lot of eye injuries every year are from this product-bottles rockets. All the fireworks that you shoot are usually safe, you have minimal injuries but the bottle rocket is the most common type of injury for the eye in fireworks throughout the U.S."
