A joyful Diwali starts with a safe one. Keep these simple do's and don'ts in mind every time you and your family light up the night with Sai Traders.
Always light fireworks in an open ground or terrace, away from trees, dry leaves, and parked vehicles.
Keep a bucket of water or sand nearby before you begin, in case of small fires or to douse used crackers.
Ignite crackers one by one at arm's length using a sparkler or agarbatti, and step back immediately.
Cotton clothes are safer than synthetic fabrics, which can catch fire quickly.
Children should burst crackers only under adult supervision, and never handle them alone.
Check the label on every cracker for directions on safe distance and handling before lighting it.
Loose, flowing, or synthetic outfits catch fire faster and burn more severely.
If a cracker doesn't go off, wait at least 20 minutes and douse it in water before disposing of it.
Avoid narrow gullies, balconies, and crowded areas where sparks can reach people or property.
Never hold a lit sparkler or cracker in your hand, even ones marketed as 'hand-held'.
Keep your cracker stock away from candles, stoves, and direct sunlight until you're ready to use them.
Never combine or tamper with crackers to make your own effects — use them exactly as manufactured.
Run cool water over the affected area for several minutes and seek medical help immediately. Keep this number handy on Diwali night.
