Hi, I'm David Hunter with Expert Village. Today we're going to be talking about fireworks, the different types and safety tips. Okay, here's a correct way to shoot your firecracker. Place it on a hard surface away from everything, light it with your lighter stick and get away. On the regular firecrackers, lay them on a flat surface also, use your safety lighting stick, your puck, light fuse and get away. Now we're going to show you how to shoot bottle rockets or any other missiles out of an iron pipe or concrete block or our favorite a tube that we've used previously tonight or today to shoot fireworks from. They make an awesome stand which is made out of cardboard and also a great thing to shoot your fireworks out of. Place them at a 75 degree angle away from power lines; make sure they're away from tree limbs and away from houses and your spectators that are watching. Light the fuse, and get away.
