Let the professionals handle the fireworks and see a professional fireworks show
If you do decide to use legal fireworks,(those pictured below are illegal) follow these safety guidelines. What is legal in Colorado depends on where you live. This link has information about regulations in the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority service area.
- Do not allow young children to play with fireworks under any circumstances. Sparklers burn at very high temperatures and can easily ignite clothing.
- Light fireworks outdoors in a clear area away from houses, dry leaves or grass and flammable materials.
- Keep a bucket of water near by for emergencies and for pouring on fireworks that don't go off.
- Do not try to relight or handle malfunctioning fireworks. Douse and soak them with water and throw them away.
- Be sure other people are out of range before lighting fireworks.
- Ensure that fireworks are completely extinguished by soaking them in water prior to disposal.
