Fireworks Have Become a Way to Celebrate During the July 4th
Holidays…It’s Our Responsibility to Celebrate Safely

With the excitement of loud rumbling explosions and beautifully colored
sparks flying through the air, people often forget that fireworks may
contain dangerous chemicals and combustibles that can destroy property
and injure people. Alaska State Fire Marshal David Tyler reminds
Alaskans that fireworks can cause severe injuries or even death if not
used properly. Tyler also reminds Alaskans that fireworks can cause
fires that might get out of hand, destroying homes and wild lands.

“The safest way to enjoy fireworks is by attending a public fireworks
display,” said Tyler. As reported by the American Pyrotechnics
Association, some states ban the use of fireworks by consumers, while
other states permit some or all consumer fireworks. The Alaska Office of
State Fire Marshal along with the National Association of State Fire
Marshals and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission join in
advising you to observe applicable local and state laws. If the law
allows you to shoot your own fireworks, pay particular attention to the
following safety tips to help reduce the chances of a destructive fire
and/or injury:

-Only purchase fireworks from a licensed dealer that sells certified
fireworks.

-Avoid buying fireworks that come in brown paper packaging, as this is
often a sign that the fireworks were made for professional shows and
could pose a danger to consumers.

-Never allow young children to play with fireworks.

-Adults should always supervise fireworks activities. Parents often
don’t realize that sparklers have caused more injuries to children under
age five than any other type of firework. Sparklers burn at temperatures
of about 2,000 degrees – hot enough to melt some metals.

-Never have any portion of your body directly over a firework device
when lighting the fuse. Move back a safe distance immediately after
lighting.

-Never try to re-light or pick up fireworks that have not fully
functioned. Douse and soak with water and throw them away.

-Never point or throw fireworks at another person.

-Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fire or other
mishap.

-Light one item at a time, and then move back quickly.

-Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass
containers.

-Avoid the combination of alcohol, drugs and fireworks.

Enjoy the July 4th celebration safely and remember to practice fire
safety every day. Plan your escape, install and maintain smoke alarms,
and install fire sprinklers. The life they save may be yours.
