You're about to embark on an explosive journey, my friend. But fear not! With the right approach, you can light consumer fireworks without turning yourself into a human firework! This article will provide you with some invaluable safety tips to ensure your pyrotechnic adventures remain injury-free and utterly awesome. So, let's dive in and discover how to light fireworks without blowing yourself up.
Find the perfect launch pad
Picture this: a wide-open space, devoid of flammable objects, homes, and innocent bystanders. This is your ideal launch pad. Leave no stone unturned in your quest for the perfect spot. Remember, you're decluttering your social media feed, but in real life. Need a recommendation?

Read the freakin' instructions
Patience, my eager friend! Before you unleash the pyrotechnic magic, take a moment to read the instructions on each firework. It may seem like a small step, but it's worth it. The instructions will guide you on how to safely light them up, which end goes where, and other essential details. Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to handling explosives.
Safety gear is the bomb
Don't be a daredevil without a cause. Invest in some safety goggles to protect your eyes from stray sparks and debris. Your peepers will thank you later. And hey, let's not forget about those precious hands. Get yourself a pair of fire-resistant gloves to avoid any crispy fingers. Remember, safety always comes first.
Keep your distance
As the fuse meets the flame, it's time to take a step back, my friend. Equip yourself with a long-ass lighter or a trusty punk stick for ignition. And once the show begins, maintain a minimum 35 feet away for fountains and other ground effect fireworks and 200 feet anything that shoots up in to the air. No need for heroics by hovering too close. Allow the pyrotechnics to work their magic from a safe distance. Need an extra layer of convenience? Try the Red Apple RADBOX fireworks firing system, allowing you to ignite your fireworks from your phone up to 300 ft away. How cool is that?
Be chill with duds
Sometimes, fireworks can be as moody as your ex on a bad day. If a firework refuses to cooperate, don't push your luck. Don't attempt to relight it like a stubborn romantic trying to reignite a failed Tinder date. Give it some space and time. Safety trumps showmanship. Plus, with Red Apple® brand fireworks, you're always covered by our Happiness Guarantee.
Have a water bucket on standby
Preparedness is key, my friend. Keep a trusty bucket of water nearby, ready to extinguish any rogue fires or misbehaving fireworks. Treat them like a campfire that needs dousing. Safety should always be at the forefront of your mind.
Clean up your mess, bro
After the fireworks extravaganza, don't leave a trail of chaos behind. Show respect for the environment and dispose of used fireworks properly. Soak them in water before discarding them in a designated trash bag. Remember, leaving the area tidy is part of being a responsible pyromaniac.
Congratulations, my safety-conscious friend! You've now learned the art of lighting consumer fireworks without turning yourself into a cautionary tale. Follow these tips diligently, stay safe, and unleash your inner pyrotechnic genius responsibly. Remember, responsible pyromaniacs are the coolest kind!
