Fireworks are a part of many holiday celebrations, but they can be extremely dangerous. Each year, thousands of people—many of them children—are injured due to fireworks-related incidents. Help keep your family, friends, and community safe by following these important safety tips.
Sparkler Safety
New York State Law allows for the sale and use of a specific category of consumer fireworks known as Sparkling Devices.
Sparkling Devices are ground based or handheld devices that produce a shower of colored sparks and or a colored flame, audible crackling or whistling noise and smoke. The law limits the type, size and construction of Sparkling Devices and requires that these devices must be hand held or mounted on a base or spike and be limited in sizes that range from 1 to 500 grams of pyrotechnic composition.
Here are some important safety tips from our friends over at the Clark Burn Center.
