FLORENCE, Ala., Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Every year, TNT® Fireworks (TNT), the leading fireworks brand in the nation and the largest distributor of consumer fireworks, offers suggestions for safe, family-oriented enjoyment while ushering in the new year.

“First and foremost, we remind consumers to be aware of the law and only utilize fireworks that are permitted in their locality,” stated Carson Anderson, president of TNT Fireworks. “If they are permitted, be sure to dispose of used fireworks safely once the display concludes.”

• Laws and regulations vary greatly concerning which fireworks are legally allowed – as well as the times they are permitted for use. In addition, certain communities may impose temporary bans on fireworks due to weather conditions. Prior to organizing your celebration, consult local authorities.
• If fireworks are permitted in your area, be they aerial or ‘safe and sane’, ensure proper disposal of used items. Soak them in a bucket of water overnight. After soaking, wrap the fireworks securely and throw them away in a metal container or take them to a local waste disposal facility. You may also reach out to your local fire department for alternative disposal methods.

Continue reading for additional safety suggestions:

• Purchase only legal fireworks from authorized retailers.

• Read and adhere to the instructions on the packaging.

• NEVER give fireworks or sparklers to little children.

• AVOID using fireworks while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Use consumer fireworks only in areas away from homes, structures, and dry vegetation – on a flat, level, fireproof surface, like concrete, free from debris.

• Keep a working garden hose and/or a bucket of water on hand in case of emergencies.

• NEVER carry a firework in your pocket or hold a lit firework in your hand.

• NEVER shoot fireworks from a metal or glass container.

• Maintain a safe distance for spectators.

• Always wear safety glasses while igniting fireworks.

• Do not aim or throw fireworks at another individual.

• Never position any part of your body directly above a firework device – even when igniting.

• Ignite only one firework at a time.

• NEVER attempt to approach or re-light a firework that fails to ignite the first time.

• PROTECT YOUR PETS! Animals frequently become anxious due to the sounds of fireworks. Safeguard your “best friends” by keeping them inside, secure, and away from the loud, sudden noises.

“Enjoy safe, family fun while welcoming 2025. And once the show concludes, soak your fireworks in a bucket of water overnight before disposal.”
