Open Space Only
Always light crackers in open areas. Keep away from buildings, dry grass, or flammable materials.
Adult Supervision
Children should never handle crackers alone. An adult must always be present to supervise.
Safe Distance
Maintain at least 5 meters distance after lighting. Never try to re-light a dud or failed cracker.
Water & Sand Ready
Always keep a bucket of water or sand nearby for emergencies and to soak used sparklers.
