VIJAYAKRISHNA CRACKERS

Do's

Before bursting fire crackers, look for an open space and ensure there are no combustible and inflammatory things around. If so remove them at once
Always buy fireworks from licensed and reliable sellers
Keep small children away from the bursting area - Use a sparkler, agarbatti (incense stick) or a long fire wood to light a cracker as they keep you at a safe distance and do not possess a naked flame
Read the label on the crackers and follow the instructions carefully
While igniting aerial fireworks like rockets ensure that they are not facing any opening like an open window, door or an open building which may cause fire accidents
Keep fireworks stock away while lighting a particular firework
Wear footwear while lighting fireworks
Keep a bucket full of water handy
Be prepared for emergency
Organize a community display of fireworks rather than individuals handling crackers
Keep first aid and buckets of water handy. In the event of fire, extinguish flame by pouring water from the buckets. Every major fire is small when it starts
Light only one firework at a time, by one person. Others should watch from a safe distance
In case of burns, pour large quantity of water on the affected area
