Fireworks Safety: Footwear While Using Sparklers

You know sparklers can add a lot of fun to any type of party or holiday event. Hi I'm Captain Joe Bruni with over three decades of firefighting and emergency medical service experience. One of the common consumer fireworks used during the holiday seasons is the common sparkler. What I'm going to talk about is one of the safety aspects with use of the common sparkler. Sparklers should never be used in bare feet or open toed type of shoes. Some type of hard covering over the foot should be worn at all times with sparkler use. Anyone using open toed shoes or bare feet stands the chance of receiving a burn injury to the foot either from the shower of sparks emitted from the sparkler or when a sparkler is accidentally dropped by the user. Also users stand the chance of burn injuries to the hand. Someone who's concerned about a burn injury to the hand, especially to smaller younger children should wear some type of light leather or cloth glove to eliminate the chance of a burn injury to the hand also. Remember no bare feet or open toed shoes should ever be worn by any individual user of consumer fireworks or the sparkler. I'm Captain Joe Bruni stay safe and we'll see you next time.
