Statistics have shown that the most firework accidents occur with people who have their firework displays at home and if you have children at home these statistics should even be more of a concern to you. Ideally you should visit a public firework display if you intend to have fun on any day of festivities that usually involves fireworks. However if you really want to do all you can to have to have fun at home and fireworks are part of this fun, you should do everything to ensure firework safety for children is observed.
Ideally certain rules and guidelines should govern the use of fireworks at home. Some certain types of fireworks should be avoided in cases of home use. Professional vendors of fireworks will know which fireworks you should avoid for home use and will advise you accordingly.

Fireworks should be kept in a closed box always and this box should be sealed ideally and kept far away from the reach of children. This is one of the basic rules to fireworks safety. The instructions on each pack of fireworks should be followed strictly and to the letter as any deviation may result in less than desirable circumstances. Fireworks should also be lit carefully as well and this sort of lighting should usually take place by using a taper and keeping the said fireworks away at arms length from your person. You should also stand well back from the fireworks and avoid going near a firework that has already been lit. Fireworks that haven't yet gone off may still in some cases explode and you don't want to be there when it happens.Fireworks shouldn't be put in your pockets and you should always supervise your children whether you are at home for your fireworks display or if you're watching the display elsewhere. Younger children are much more prone to wander off so you should take particular care to making sure that they remain in the vicinity and refrain from wandering off to other locations where they may enter into harms way during a fireworks display.
Giving fireworks that may seem as harmless as sparklers to children who are less than 5 years old is something that should be avoided. You should also endeavor to keep your pets safely locked away from such events, if your pets are bound to run into the path of exploding fireworks, younger children are bound to dart after them even in play. By doing these things you ensure that firework safety for kids is well and truly observed and your family can have a safe and wonderful fireworks display for whatever occasion you may particularly have in mind. Kids firework safety should not be taken lightly!
