Setting Them Off
Only one person should be in charge of fireworks. If that's you, then make sure you take all the necessary precautions. Read the instructions in daylight and don't drink any alcohol until they've all been discharged. On the night, you will need...
a torch
a bucket of water
eye protection and gloves
a bucket of soft earth to put fireworks in
suitable supports and launchers if you're setting off catherine wheels or rockets.

If you are organising a firework display for the general public, read the DTI leaflet on how to organise safe and successful firework displays.
Follow the firework safety code. Did you know?
Only buy fireworks marked BS 7114.
Don't drink alcohol if setting off fireworks.
Keep fireworks in a closed box.
Follow the instructions on each firework.
Light at arm's length, using a taper.
Stand well back.
Never go near a firework that has been lit. Even if it hasn't gone off, it could still explode.
Never put fireworks in your pocket or throw them.
Always supervise children around fireworks.
Light sparklers one at a time and wear gloves.
Never give sparklers to a child under five.
