TNT Fireworks Emphasizes Safety This New Year with Essential Tips

Celebrating Safely with TNT Fireworks

As the countdown to New Year's Eve begins, families across the nation prepare to celebrate with spectacular firework displays. TNT Fireworks, the leading fireworks brand in the United States, has a longstanding tradition of promoting safe celebrations. With countless households gearing up for the festivities, TNT is reminding everyone of important safety tips to ensure a fun and secure experience.

Know Your Local Laws

The first step to a safe celebration is to be aware of the laws surrounding fireworks in your community. Carson Anderson, the president of TNT Fireworks, advises that consumers should only use fireworks that are legal in their area. Regulations can vary significantly, not only in what types of fireworks are allowed but also regarding the specific dates and times that fireworks can be discharged. Additionally, it’s crucial to check for any temporary bans, especially in dry conditions where fire hazards are heightened. Local authorities can provide guidance on what is permitted.

Proper Disposal of Fireworks

Once the festivities have ended, safe disposal of used fireworks is essential. TNT suggests soaking discharged fireworks in a bucket of water overnight before disposing of them. After they've been submerged, wrap them tightly and discard them in a metal container or take them to a local waste facility. For additional disposal options, contacting the local fire department is advisable.

Essential Firework Safety Tips

1. Buy Legally: Only purchase fireworks from licensed retailers to ensure safety standards are met.
2. Follow Instructions: Read all labels and instructions carefully, using fireworks only as directed.
3. Keep it Safe: Do not give fireworks or sparklers to young children. Ensure adult supervision at all times.
4. Avoid Substances: Never combine the use of fireworks with alcohol or drugs to maintain full awareness and safety.
5. Fireproof Environment: Select a launch site that is flat, level, and free from flammable materials, such as dry grass or debris. Concrete surfaces are recommended.
6. Emergency Preparedness: Always have access to water, like a garden hose or bucket, to extinguish any fires that may occur.
7. Distance Matters: Maintain a safe distance from spectators and ensure fireworks are ignited in an open space.
8. Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses when lighting fireworks to protect your eyes from sudden sparks.
9. One at a Time: Only ignite one firework at any given time and never attempt to re-light a firework that fails to ignite on the first attempt.
10. Protect Pets: Keep animals indoors to alleviate their distress caused by loud fireworks.
