Fireworks bring excitement, colour, and magic to celebrations. Whether it’s a grand New Year’s Eve display, Bonfire Night, a wedding, or a special event, nothing lights up the sky like fireworks. However, to truly enjoy the experience, safety should always come first. At Big Shotter Fireworks, we’re committed to ensuring our customers not only enjoy spectacular displays but also handle fireworks responsibly — whether it’s a large firework show or something smaller like a smoke bomb.
1. Buy Quality Fireworks from Trusted Sellers
Always purchase your fireworks from reputable suppliers like Big Shotter Fireworks. Cheap, unregulated fireworks can be unpredictable and dangerous. With us, you can be confident that all products meet UK safety standards.
2. Read the Instructions Carefully
Before lighting any firework or smoke bomb, read the safety instructions provided. Each product is different — from rockets and Roman candles to sparklers and smoke effects — so make sure you understand how to use them safely.
3. Keep a Safe Distance
Maintain a safe viewing distance from the launch area. Fireworks can be unpredictable, and sparks or debris can cause injury. As a rule of thumb, follow the safety distance stated on the packaging — and never lean over a lit firework.
4. Have Safety Equipment Ready
Always keep a bucket of water, a hosepipe, or a fire extinguisher nearby. For smoke bombs, make sure you use them in open, well-ventilated outdoor spaces to avoid inhaling excessive smoke.
5. Supervise Children at All Times
Children love fireworks, but they should never handle them directly. Let them enjoy the show from a safe distance and always have an adult present when using sparklers or smoke effects.
6. Never Relight a Dud
If a firework doesn’t go off, don’t attempt to relight it. Wait at least 20 minutes, then soak it in water before disposal. The same applies to smoke bombs — once finished, ensure they are completely cool before handling.
7. Protect Your Pets
Animals can be frightened by loud noises and bright flashes. Keep them indoors and ensure windows and doors are closed. If you plan on using smoke bombs for events like photography, choose quiet products and keep pets away from the area.
