The ONLY type of consumer fireworks that are LEGAL in KDH are caps, snakes and glow worms, smoke devices, trick noise-makers, sparklers and other sparkling devices, such as fountains.
If you do decide to use legal consumer fireworks in an area where the use of these devices is permitted, here are a few tips to keep you safe: - Don't allow children to play with or light the devices.
- Light only one device at a time and quickly move away to enjoy the show.
- Never place any part of your body overtop the device.
- Have a bucket of water or water hose readily available where you are lighting the fireworks in case a fire starts.
- Do not attempt to relight a device that does not ignite and properly fire. Instead, soak it in water before properly disposing of it.
- Thoroughly soak all devices prior to disposing of them.
