Fireworks Safety Tips from the CPSC
In Oklahoma, fireworks are legal, except within most of the major metropolitan areas. If you and your family choose to set off fireworks this Fourth of July, it is important to observe the following safety tips set out by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC):
- Be sure other people are out of the way when lighting fireworks. When observing, do not stand too close to fireworks. Never point or throw fireworks at other people.
- Do not experiment with homemade fireworks or try to combine fireworks.
- Do not stand directly over fireworks when lighting them. Always stand to the side and move back immediately after the fuse is lit.
