Dos & Don'ts - Fireworks Display
* Buy fireworks of authorized/reputed manufacturers only.
* Light only one firework at a time, by one person. Others should watch from a safe distance.
* Keep the fireworks to be used at a safer place.
* Organize a community display of fireworks rather than individuals handling crackers.
* Always use a long candle/'phooljhari' for igniting fire crackers and keep elbow joint straight to increase the distance between the body and the crackers.
* Keep two 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.
* In case of burns, pour large quantity of water on the burnt area.
* In case of major burns, after extinguishing the fire, remove all smoldering clothes. Wrap the victim in a clean bedsheet.
* The patient should be taken to a burns specialist or a major hospital. Don't panicky.
* In case of eye burns, wash the eye with tap water for 10 minutes and take the victim to a hospital.
