• The crackers should be kept in a place away from water usage areas like the kitchen. If waterfalls then that will make it unfit to use.
• The crackers should be kept in a place away from preteens.
• On the day of Diwali, wear cotton clothing which are thick enough and also foot wears. This they because it will not get fired soon and avoid wearing loose outfits in order to have comfort and convenience.
• While igniting the crackers, have in mind that the matchsticks, incense sticks or sparklers should be kept two to three feet away from your face and body.

• As soon as crackers are lighted, you should get a few meters away from it so that the sparks of fire will not harm your eyes or body.
• While burning some fireworks, the others should be surely kept closed in a box so that if any tiny spark hits it may cause a great disaster.
• Importantly, all the enjoyment of celebration should happen in an open space like an open ground since in a crowd or congested places there are possibilities for the crackers to get into homes thereby causing major fire accidents.

• All that sound we make should not disturb aged people and patients so it has to be stopped earlier at night.
• After using bonkers, it should be discharged into water. If it is not done, there might be chances of anyone stamping it and getting wounds.
• At any cause, don’t allow small infants to light fireworks since they may get harmed easily.
