Sparkling into the New Year: TNT® Fireworks’ Guide to Safe Family Celebrations!

FLORENCE, Ala., Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Annually, TNT^® Fireworks (TNT), the leading fireworks brand in the nation and the foremost distributor of consumer fireworks, provides guidelines for safe, family-oriented enjoyment as the new year approaches.

“Primarily, we remind consumers to be aware of local laws and utilize only those fireworks that are authorized in their area,” stated Carson Anderson, the president of TNT Fireworks. “If they are permissible, ensure that you safely discard fireworks post-event.”

• Regulations differ significantly regarding the types of fireworks that are legally authorized, as well as the times they are allowed to be used. Moreover, certain communities might impose temporary bans on fireworks due to weather circumstances. Verify with local officials before organizing your festivities.
• When fireworks are legal in your area, whether aerial or ‘safe and sane’, it is crucial to properly dispose of used fireworks. Soak them in a bucket of water overnight. After soaking, wrap the fireworks and discard them in a metal container or take them to a local waste management facility. Additionally, you can consult your local fire department for alternative disposal methods.

Continue reading for further safety recommendations:

• Purchase legal fireworks exclusively from authorized sellers.

• Thoroughly read and adhere to the instructions provided on the labels.

• NEVER give fireworks or sparklers to young children.

• NEVER mix fireworks use with alcohol or drug intake.

• Use consumer fireworks only in open areas, away from houses, structures, and dry vegetation — on a flat, stable, fire-resistant surface such as concrete, free from any debris.

• Always have a functional garden hose and/or a bucket of water readily available in case of emergencies.

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

• NEVER launch fireworks from a metal or glass container.

• Maintain a safe distance for spectators.

• Always wear protective eyewear when igniting fireworks.

• Avoid aiming or throwing fireworks at other individuals.

• Never position any part of your body directly over a firework device — even while lighting.

• Ignite only a single firework at any given time.

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

• PROTECT YOUR PETS! Animals are frequently startled by the noises of fireworks. Keep your “best friends” indoors, secure, and away from the loud, unexpected sounds.
