It is important to use only tested fireworks with a CE sign and always burn them out outside of human collections. With a bit of prudence, many an accident can be prevented. The Herdecke fire brigade gives valuable tips.

One of the basic rules is to keep a sufficient safety distance and never to ignite unused fireworks too close to children or alcoholic people. Parents should be role models and educate the offspring.
