Stay Legal: Local laws vary widely, from the types of fireworks that are legally permitted — to the times in which they can be used. TNT encourages consumers to know their local laws and to only use fireworks when and where they are legally permitted. Local fire departments and municipal government websites can provide information about what types of fireworks are legal in your community. It’s also very important to only purchase fireworks from a licensed retailer. Visit for more information and locations near you.

Be Safe: Be selective when choosing a location for your fireworks show. Pick a dry, flat surface such as concrete, dirt, or pavement that is away from structures and vegetation, and is free of debris. Always read and follow the instructions and keep spectators at a safe distance.

Act Responsibly:

* Have a working hose and/or bucket of water nearby in case of emergencies — make sure you have plenty of water on hand. Also have a fire extinguisher nearby.

* Do not use fireworks near undeveloped land, brush or wooded areas.

*ÌýÌýMonitor weather alerts and local conditions. Even if your area is experiencing high humidity, it is important to follow these precautions.
