Fireworks are a cherished American pastime, offering delightful entertainment for families. However, they must be handled with caution and responsibility, primarily by adults, to ensure everyone's safety. For a secure and enjoyable fireworks display, we at Frese Fireworks advise adhering to the following safety guidelines:

​

Adult Supervision is Essential

Only adults should manage and ignite fireworks. While they provide great entertainment, fireworks reach high temperatures and should not be handled by children.

​

Avoid Alcohol and Drugs During Use

We strongly discourage the consumption of alcohol or drugs when handling fireworks. They should only be used by sober individuals who can act responsibly to prevent accidents and injuries.

​

Abide by Laws and Exercise Common Sense

Follow local and state laws regarding fireworks use. Familiarize yourself with Frese Fireworks’ safety tips, directions, and warnings on each product. Use only legal fireworks and utilize designated shooter sites if available. Never attempt to use professional-grade fireworks without proper permissions and facilities.

​

Purchase from Reliable Sources

Buy fireworks from licensed dealers like Frese Fireworks. We ensure that our products meet U.S. Consumer Product Commission standards. Avoid illegal explosives, modifying fireworks, or attempting to make your own.

​

Use on a Stable Surface

Ensure the fireworks are set up on a hard, stable surface. Secure aerial repeaters and tall fountains with bricks or bury them halfway in sand or earth to prevent tipping.

​

Maintain a Safe Distance

Keep the audience, especially children, at a safe distance from the launch site. Light fireworks in clear, open areas away from flammable materials. The recommended safe distances are 35 feet for ground-based items and 150 feet for aerials.

​

Be Mindful During Ignition

Never lean over fireworks and avoid holding lighted items. Use long lighting devices and light the fuse at its tip. Stay as far from the fireworks as possible when lighting them and quickly move away after ignition.

​

Light One Item at a Time

To prevent uncontrollable flares, light only one firework at a time.

​

Handle 'Duds' Carefully

Don't try to relight or fix malfunctioning fireworks. If a firework doesn’t ignite, wait for 5 minutes, then douse it with water and dispose of it properly.

​

Have Water Ready

Keep a water source like a hose or bucket nearby. Assign someone as a fireman to watch for any emergencies.

​

Be Cautious in Windy Conditions

Only light fireworks when the wind is not strong and always have it blowing away from the spectators.

​

Handle with Care

Handle fireworks gently and avoid carrying them in your pocket. Never smoke near fireworks.

​

Protect Idle Fireworks

Cover or store unused fireworks away from the launch zone to prevent accidental ignition.

​

Never Use Fireworks as Weapons

It's crucial to never aim or throw fireworks at another person or property.

​

Proper Storage and Disposal

Store unused fireworks in a dry, secure place. Dispose of them by soaking in water and placing in a metal trash container.

​

Outdoor Use Only

Always use fireworks outdoors in a safe environment.

​

Wear Protective Eyewear

Safety glasses are recommended for those lighting fireworks and bystanders close by.

​

Special Precautions for Reloadables

Follow specific guidelines for reloadable fireworks, including handling of wet or damaged items and proper loading techniques.

​

Consideration for Animals

Be mindful of pets and animals, as fireworks can frighten them. Keep them indoors or in a safe place during displays.

​

Courtesy to Neighbours

Inform neighbors before shooting fireworks, clean up debris, and be considerate of those who might be sensitive to the noise and lights.

​

No Fireworks on Airplanes

Remember that carrying fireworks on airplanes is against federal law.

​
