With careful preparation, you can safely stage an impressive fireworks display.

Steps

1. 1 Remember to have a wick connecting all the pieces together or buy a remote detonator from a store to get off at the right time.
2. 2 Find out if it is legal: Find out if fireworks are allowed in your area. Call your local police and fire department as they can answer this question.
3. 3 Find available fireworks. Write down what kind of fireworks you want to purchase before making your purchase. Call your local stores to find out what kind of fireworks they sell. Be sure to also check the price of each fireworks display. Plan the amount of money you are going to spend (this can be from 4,500 to 15,000 rubles). Try to buy fireworks 1-2 weeks before the event so you know you can get them.
4. 4 Make a show. After purchasing the fireworks, you will need a rough outline of your show. Select the area for the show and draw your sketch on a fairly large piece of paper. After that, mark where your fireworks will be located in the area. Remember, smaller fireworks should be in front and larger ones farther from the audience. Draw several plans, one for each mini-show. Give a copy to each helper and explain it so they know what to do.
5. 5 Get ready for the day. You will need a launch pad. Look for a flat, open area with no dry grass. Once you've found a place like this, buy some cheap plywood and lay it on the ground. Decide what your show should be. You should only be running a few fireworks at a time and the show should be at least 2-5 minutes long. Each mini-show should have a variety of fireworks. For example, each show might have 2 festival balloons at the beginning, immediately followed by two different pyrotechnic fountains, then several bottle rockets, and at the end a rocket or two. Once you've decided what each show will include, stack the fireworks back into the drawers in the order of your show.
6. 6 Wait until dark. Let it darken enough before launching fireworks. Once you are done preparing for the first mini-show, make sure the audience is at least 15 meters away. Have two people light the fireworks on each side of the show in the order you have planned. Remember, if any fireworks don't fly out, leave them in place and then fill them with a full bucket of water. And be sure to have fun!
7. 7 Be prepared for the unexpected. It may seem overkill, but it's helpful to have a small gas torch on hand, and there is nothing worse for a show than a boring show.Also, when using fireworks batteries (worth using if you want a good show), store them in an area protected from sparks. If you don't, it could be a disaster. Also make sure the batteries of the fireworks are properly installed, do not allow them to be tilted.
8. 8 Make a good show. Make sure to include intermediate starts. They will help keep people in the air while you light something big. Finally, save the best for the ending. The last impressions are the most important for the fireworks show.

Tips

• When setting up your launch pad, make sure you have a few packs of wicks readily available to add extras to any fireworks that seem to have a wick too short.
• Keep a bucket of water nearby for children to throw burnt-out sparklers at it. This will prevent unpleasant injuries to your bare feet.
• If you're willing to spend the extra money, buy about fifty of the bottle rockets (if they're legal in your area) and fire them ten a day, five days prior to the event. This will interest those around the upcoming holiday.
• Read all label instructions.
• Never walk up or try to re-ignite fireworks that have not taken off. Dispose of it in a bucket of water if nothing happens after about 2-3 minutes.
• The simplest and most popular fireworks are snap pops. These are the only fireworks that children seven to eight years of age and younger can use, depending on your own rules. They are great for day and night use.

Warnings

• Only light fireworks when you are safe, sane and sober.
• Keep spare charges or fireworks a safe distance from the launch pad. The wind that brings an accidental spark can lead to a dangerous explosion.
• Know what each fireworks is like. Some fountains, rockets, and Roman candles are similar to each other. What you thought is a fountain can become deadly if it suddenly flies into the air. Most fireworks are labeled with special terms. Know each of these terms.
• Never use fireworks illegally.
• Never go near fireworks that don't take off immediately. You may receive an unpleasant surprise!
• Make sure fireworks are legal in your area / area.
• Always have water on hand.
• Stay a safe distance from detonating fireworks to protect against burns and hearing damage. Wear safety glasses or earplugs as needed.
• Always read the warning labels.
• Never give fireworks to small children.
• Never try to make fireworks yourself.
• Never put fireworks in your pockets.
• In Russia, children under 18 are not allowed to buy fireworks.
• Bengal lights burn at temperatures up to 1000 degrees Celsius and should not be given to children under 12 years of age (without adult supervision).
• Provide the minimum legal safe distance between your fireworks and spectators, trees, buildings. For a single salute, the minimum safety distance is equal to the height of the hull plus the diameter of the air blast. Add extra distance (up to 100m) depending on wind conditions.
• I once saw fireworks set off in the wrong area.
• Never use fireworks in an unsuitable area.
• Pyrotechnic fountains are dangerous for children and the elderly.
