Fireworks Storage

1/8/2021 (Permalink)

After the holidays, if you haven’t expended all of your fireworks you may want to store them. Fireworks are, of course, very dangerous when lit uncontrollably and could potentially cause damage to your household if they ever get in this state. Follow these tips to safely store leftover fireworks for your next holiday!

• Store in a secure, non-flammable container
• In the event there is a household fire, this will decrease the chance of the fireworks from going off. Be mindful that ignition of the fuse is still possible, as the container may heat up and ignite the fireworks inside. Check how well rated your container is before you decide to use it for storage.
• Store the container in a dry, and safe place
• Ensure your children cannot reach this container. Try to store it in areas that are less likely to burn, and keep it away from appliances that generate heat. 
• Check the laws
• Some cities have different laws regarding fireworks storage, ensure to check up on local city ordinance to make sure if the storing of fireworks is legal in your area.

Fireworks are a marvel to look at, but don’t underestimate their potentially destructive and dangerous power. Be smart, stay safe!
