Safety is very important when dealing with fireworks.  Unfortunately, there are many people out there who have great ideas that really aren't that great.  Watch these videos and DO NOT try this at home.

Fireworks in a confined space

Always make sure that fireworks are not lite around dry grass and weeds because fires can start easily.

Never make homemade fireworks!!

Although it may be funny, your wife may not appreciate it.

And never try to light a firework while holding it in your hand.  While there are many videos of 'firework wars,' that can be very dangerous and could really hurt someone.  Remember to always be safe and and watch your children around fireworks.
