New Year's Eve Celebration in Ventura California

CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES SAFELY THIS NEW YEAR’S EVE

Many Countries around the world celebrate the new year with gatherings and public performances. However, many of the things we enjoy during this festive period, such as fireworks, fairy lights, candles, paper hats and decorations can all be fire hazard when proper care is not taken. Educating yourself with dos and don’ts can significantly reduce the chances of accidents.

WHEN USING ANY KIND OF PYROTECHNICS/FIREWORKS

• Ensure a fire extinguisher, hose or bucket of water is nearby
• Make sure the shooter is not wearing loose clothing that could ignite and follow directions on the fireworks label.
• If the device does not instructions label do not fire it.
• Light fireworks one at a time
• Never fire fireworks held in someone’s hand
• Never use fireworks of any kind indoors
• Never throw fireworks
• Never stand over an item that does not fire. Do not relight it. Pour water on it.

WHEN HANDLING SPARKLE

• Never light more than one at a time
• Make sure children keep the sparkles away from others and flammable materials
• Make sure the sparkle is kept a proper distance form their bodies to avoid burns or clothes catching on fire
• Stick the used sparkles in a bucket of sand or water when they are done
• Remember that sparkles and smaller items that stay on the ground, are still very hot and therefore dangerous after they have been used.

Don’t let the new year get off to a bad start! Keep safety in mind to ensure you, your family, and your friends have an accident-free New Year’s Eve celebration!
