Fireworks Safety Tips

Summary: Fireworks were developed in China around 206 BC. They were invented by Taoist Monks who created them by accident through playing with gunpowder in their spare time. Later pyrotechnicians in China were very well respected for their unique skill and bravery since this was and is never a safe venture. Eventually there became a scientific method and strategy to making fireworks which developed into its own profession that, of course, still flourishes today.
