Leave the fireworks to the professionals. Fireworks
can be a spectacular addition to holidays and celebrations, but in the
hands of amateurs, fireworks can turn the festivities into tragedy.
Young people suffer the great majority of fireworks injuries, which
typically harm the eyes, head, or hands. These injuries can result in
blindness, permanent scarring, and amputation.
- Teach children at an early age that fireworks are explosive devices.
They are not toys.
- Explain the danger of explosives and teach children to tell an adult if
they find fireworks. Be sure they under stand it is too risky to pick up
fireworks and bring them to an adult.
- As a substitute for sparklers and firecrackers, purchase
glow-in-the-dark wands and non-explosive noisemakers.
- Did you know that a sparkler burns at 1800-degrees? You would let a
child play with a sparkler but you wouldn’t let them play with the stove or
oven.

- The Village of Mount Prospect Prohibits the use of fireworks. The term
firework shall include firecrackers, torpedoes, skyrockets, roman candles,
daygo bombs, sparklers or other fireworks of like construction and any
fireworks containing any explosive substance.
