If you are going to use fireworks:

• Cut back the overgrowth of weeds or grasses around your home, which can catch fire quickly.
• Avoid wearing loose clothing when using fireworks. They can catch fire.
• Keep a bucket of water nearby.
• Supervise children when using fireworks.
• Stand several feet away from the firework. If it fails to light, put it out with water.
• Always follow the instructions on the firework’s package.
• Also, remember that fireworks are prohibited within the Phoenix's city limits.
