As the New Year holidays are approaching, we remind you that it is crucial that you handle fireworks safely. There is always a risk of accidents, leading to fires or injuries.
- Children must not be allowed to light fireworks and can only watch from afar.
- Choose an appropriate area — it should be spacious and free from buildings, trees, and vehicles.
- Spectators must stand at least 30 steps away from the lighting area.
- Do not use fireworks during rain, strong wind, or snowstorm.
- One should keep a fire extinguisher or a bucket of water in case of stray sparks or a fire.
Remember that for each type of firework there are separate rules for installation and safe use — always read the instructions carefully.
