If you purchase your own fireworks this year, Minnesota authorities remind you that:

• If it flies or explodes, it’s illegal in Minnesota. You could face fines and confiscation of illegal fireworks.
• Use fireworks in an open area away from houses and other structures.
• Don’t let children run through the area. They could step on a spent firework that is still hot.
• Use fireworks responsibly, especially around children. Kids mimic your behavior.
• Use a long lighter meant for a gas grill to light fireworks and stay as far from the wick as possible.
• Do not try to re-light a dud. Ever.
• Have a bucket of water nearby; spent sparklers must go into the bucket, not dropped in the grass
