"You know consumer sparklers can add fun to any holiday or party event. Hi I'm Captain Joe Bruni with over three decade of firefighting and emergency medical service experience. The common sparkler adds a lot of fun to any holiday and party event. However there are two things that never mix very well; the common consumer sparkler and alcohol. Alcohol should never be used by anybody that is supervising; handling or lighting consumer sparklers. There always should be a responsible adult designated as the so called shooter or ignition person to light to the standard sparkler for whoever's going to hold then and use them. However ensure that that person has not partaken of any form of alcoholic beverage that's going to be the person responsible for over seeing the fun that takes place involving consumer fireworks at any holiday or party event. I'm Captain Joe Bruni; stay safe and we'll see you next time."
