"You know, consumer fireworks can add fun and excitement to any holiday event or gathering. I'm Captain Joe Bruni, with over three decades of fire fighting and emergency medical service experience. It's a good idea to learn and practice good common sense guidelines when working with consumer types of fireworks, such as these fountains, or the popular common sparkler. It's a good idea to appoint somebody to be the shooter who is not under the influence of any type of drug or alcohol, and is a responsible type of person. It's also a good idea for anybody handling something like a sparkler to keep a distance of at least six feet around the user. It's also a good idea to remember that common consumer fireworks are meant for outdoor use only; never under cover, like a pavilion or tent. And it's also a good idea to have some type of extinguishment planned for, and properly at hand in a moments notice if an injury or a fire occurs; something as simple as a charged garden hose, bucket of normal water, or common multi-purpose fire extinguisher. Remember, practice, and learn good common sense rules to have a safer, more exciting holiday season. I'm Captain Joe Bruni. Stay safe, and we'll see ya' next time."
