Never take in for granted, Fireworks Safety 4th of July should be a top priority. Fires, personal injuries and even death can result if proper procedures are not taken seriously. The most common injuries that occur on and around Independence Day are serious burns. Burns from the simplest things like sparklers can be extremely painful and require medical attention or a costly emergency room visit. Common sense plays a major role in preventing accidents with fireworks. Let's mention some of the most important ones first.
Never discharge or light fireworks close to your body. Hold sparklers at a distance away from your clothes and flesh. Never touch the skin or clothes with a lit sparkler or one that has just burned out. Sparklers burn at a temperature of more than 1400 degrees. Wear long sleeve shirts, long pants and eye protection when handling a sparkler when lit. If at all possible, stickless sparklers, like the "Patriot Stick" or the "Gold Sticks" are great for a no wire sparkler. Second choice would be the bamboo stick sparklers like the "Morning Glory" sparklers. When the sparkler composite burns, all that is left is a small portion of the bamboo stick. The longer the sparkler is in length, the longer they burn. 36" are typically the longest burning sparklers on the market. Choose which sparklers fit your circumstances wisely.
