Hi, I'm David Hunter with Expert Village. Today we're going to be talking about fireworks, the different types and safety tips. Now we're going to show you some ground items. These can come in safe and sane trays or come in bigger packs for the bigger kids also. Essentially what these are are items that are placed on smooth flat surfaces like your concrete driveway or sidewalk. You never want to shoot these like on gravels or anything because they must be sat down in an area where they can move freely across the ground to where they can perform to do what they're suppose to do, just like we're fixing to show you. Take your item, find a good spot on the concrete, place your item on the ground, make sure you have read all the instructions and safety's that come with it. Look around and make sure all people are cleared away at least enough space to you know you can shoot your firework properly. Take your lighter stick, place your light stick down at the fuse, light the fuse and get away immediately. Now again, when shooting your fireworks, instead of going over to this firework immediately, go to another area of your driveway and light something else and let that one set for a little while even though you think it's done, make sure. Another thing with this product like a big foot truck, is make sure you have read all instructions. For example: never hold it in your hand, or aim it at another person. Our next item that we're going to talk about are chasers. Chasers have been around for many many years, even as a kid I remember buying these items and we used to have so much fun with them. Again, read all your warning instructions on the side. This item you do not hold it in your hand, you place it on a flat surface just like the truck before that we shot. Light fuse and get away. Here's an example: I checked my area, I made sure that I'm clear, I'm laying this in an area where it can lie down and it'll be able to shoot across the ground like it's suppose to away from all the people who are watching. Light the fuse, and get away. Again this item, you never want to walk over and pick it up, let it set for a little while, and go back to the area where we shot the truck from earlier cause it should be safe by now.
