Take Responsibility

• Don't overestimate your child's ability to use good judgement.
• Set family boundaries. Only adults should light fireworks.
• Children are naturally curious. Be sure fireworks, matches and lighters are secured out of sight and reach of children.
• Be sure to discharge all fireworks devices so there are no leftovers to tempt curious children.
• M80's, M100's or M1000's are not fireworks; they are illegal explosive devices. They can cause amputations or other severe injuries and possessing them has legal consequences.
