Types of fireworks A Guide to safety at your display Rockets Should be used from a rocket launching tube angled slightly away from the spectators and any obstructions. Make sure the rocket is free to rise. Cakes & Barrages Large multi tubed fireworks that are round or square and look like a xmas cake. Each tube fires a single shot allowing a huge variety of effects, can have up to 1000 individual tubes. Insert in soft ground or secure to a stake, which has been sunk into the ground. Make sure that the firework cannot fall over, and that there are no overhanging trees or cables obscuring the path of the firework. Ground Mines Ground mines do not require a separate mortar, they are supplied preloaded and when lit start with a small fountain before bursting into colour. Roman Candles Batteries of candles must be tied or nailed to a post or buried for 3/4 of their length in a bucket of dry sand. They discharge stars and other types of effects. Normally they are in batteries of three, four, six or seven. Set Pieces There are two main types of Set Pieces, the first being stationary, combining geometric designs of fountains, and the second consisting of moving pieces eg. wheels, turning vertically or horizontally. They should be fixed to a frame or post, the higher the better, as they cascade to the ground. Portfires These are used to ignite fireworks. Organising the display Early preparation is important and it is advisable to set up a small committee with each member having a defined role. The Fire Brigade and Police, and for sites near the coast, the Coast Guard, should all be informed of your display well in advance. Fire extinguishers, buckets of sand and buckets of water should be available on the night, with marshals trained to use them. Bonfires should be a safe distance downwind of the firework area and must be supervised at all times. Never use inflammables to start the fire and under no circumstances dispose of used or unused fireworks on the bonfire. Firing the Display The order in which the fireworks are used is very important if the audience is to get the maximum enjoyment from the display. It is a good idea to start the display with a volley of noise to get the attention of the crowd. Follow this with rockets, a set piece, a sequence of candles mines or cakes with loud noise and reports. Repeat this sequence to suit. The finale should be an impressive combination of noise and colour. This is only a suggested firing order and by no means rigid. Remember to keep the display moving, so the visual impact is not lost. Always light fireworks at arms length, and under no circumstances lean over a firework. Never go back to a firework if it fails to ignite. Bad Weather If there is a wind, make sure the fireworks are downhill from the audience. Fire the fireworks in such a way that the sparks from the burning debris falls in the place where fireworks have already been fired. Rockets will always turn into the direction of the prevailing wind. If it is wet do not set out fireworks unnecessarily early. Provide a good supply of plastic bags, bin liners and cling film, all of which can be used on most fireworks to great effect against the water. Safety Rules • Never smoke when handling fireworks. • Unpack the fireworks in a safe place away from open fires and inflammable materials. • Make sure that the fireworks are all separated from the packing materials. • Remember that fireworks are fragile. • Always keep fireworks covered. • When out of doors, the firework box should be covered by tarpaulin or other spark proof material as a spark could ignite the entire contents. • Always light fireworks with a portfire attached to a stick and held at arms length. • When firing a display always wear protective overalls, goggles, hat and gloves. Beware hot effects falling into gaping pockets, wellington boots etc. • Never walk or lean across the top of any firework. Treat them as you would a loaded gun muzzle. • Always soak unignited fireworks in water for 24 hours before disposal. • Never put used or unused fireworks on a bonfire. • Have your display before 11pm, except of course, New Years Eve.
