Safety First, Celebrations Next.

Diwali is a festival of lights and joy. Ensuring the safety of your loved ones makes the celebrations truly memorable. Please read our mandatory safety guidelines before handling fireworks.

Essential Safety Rules

1

Store in a Cool, Dry Place

Always keep fireworks in a closed box, away from direct sunlight, children, and any heat sources.

2

Keep Water Handy

Always have a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher nearby while lighting fireworks to handle emergencies.

3

Light One at a Time

Never attempt to light multiple fireworks simultaneously. Light them one by one and step back immediately.

4

Maintain Safe Distance

Keep a safe distance of at least 15-20 feet after lighting a cracker. Do not lean over fireworks while lighting them.

5

Wear Cotton Clothes

Avoid wearing synthetic or loose-fitting clothing, which can easily catch fire. Cotton is always recommended.

6

Supervise Children

Never let young children handle fireworks alone. Sparklers should be lit by adults and held at arm's length.

7

Don't Relight Duds

If a firework fails to go off, wait for 15-20 minutes, then pour water on it. Never attempt to relight a dud.

8

Use Open Spaces

Only light fireworks outdoors in clear, open spaces away from houses, dry leaves, and highly flammable materials.

In Case of Emergency

If a burn occurs, immediately pour cool water over the affected area for at least 10 minutes. Do not apply ice, butter, or ointment. Seek immediate medical attention for serious injuries.
