Fire Safety Tips

Fire Safety Tips

All accidents due to fireworks occur as a result of carelessness, negligence and ignorance. But these can certainly be avoided by observing some very simple precautions. All of us enjoy the pleasure of light and sound but when disaster strikes the injured has to bear the pain. If you’re going to set off fireworks at home this year, please take a few minutes to read through the guidelines.

Do's While Bursting Crackers

  • Use fireworks only in the outdoors.
  • Buy fireworks of authorized/reputed manufacturers only.
  • Light only one firework at a time, by one person. Others should watch from a safe distance.
  • We request you not to accept any parcel in a damaged condition. We are working hard to make our transportation system to deliver every order in a good condition.
  • 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 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 bed sheet.
  • The patient should be taken to a burn’s 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.
