If you decide to set off fireworks at home, make sure you know the proper way to dispose of them. Douse used fireworks with with water before disposing, even if they’re duds. Not doing this may result in a trash fire. Keep a hose or a bucket near when you light the fireworks — just in case — and make sure you don’t leave pieces of fireworks on the ground when you are finished. They can still catch fire and explode.
