Practice Safe Fireworks Preparation, Use, and Disposal
Always exercise caution if you choose to use fireworks. Caution includes safe preparation, use, and disposal. The following tips are from Clark County.
Fireworks Preparation
Prepare to use fireworks by doing the following:
- Check that your fireworks are “safe and sane.”
- Be considerate of your neighbors, especially those sensitive to loud noises. This includes the elderly, veterans, children, and animals.
- Have a garden hose connected and ready in case of fire.
- Never carry fireworks in your pocket.
- Do not use homemade fireworks.
- Never shoot fireworks from or into metal or glass containers.
- Keep pets indoors in a safe space.
- Place fireworks on a flat, hard surface like a parking lot. Only use fireworks in a clear area away from buildings, vehicles, and dry brush.

Fireworks Use
Practice safe fireworks use by doing the following:
- Only use fireworks under adult supervision.
- Do not allow young children to play with fireworks.

- Do not immediately approach a firework that fails to light. Stay away for several minutes.
- Never use fireworks indoors.
- If clothes catch on fire—stop, drop, and roll.
- Treat burns with cool water and gauze. If the burn blisters, seek medical help.
