Sparkle Responsibly: Discover Our Pollution-Free Crackers
The Future of Celebrations is Here: Greener, Safer, Just as Bright!
At Crackers Corner, we're committed to making your celebrations joyous and responsible. We understand the growing concern for environmental impact, which is why we're proud to offer a selection of pollution-free crackers, also known as "green crackers."
Before You Light: Preparation is Key
Choose a Safe Location
Always use firecrackers in an open, clear area, far away from residential buildings, dry grass, highly flammable materials, and overhead power lines. Avoid congested areas.
Clear the Area
Remove any combustible items like dry leaves, paper, or cloth from the firing zone.
Keep Water/Sand Handy
Always have a bucket of water, a garden hose, or a bucket of sand readily available to extinguish any accidental fires or douse unexploded crackers.
Adult Supervision is a Must
Never allow children to handle or light firecrackers unsupervised. An adult must always be present and actively supervising.
Read Instructions Carefully
Every firecracker product comes with specific instructions. Read and understand them thoroughly before use.
Protect Your Eyes
Consider wearing safety glasses to protect your eyes from sparks and debris, especially when lighting aerial crackers.
While Lighting: Handle with Care
Use an Agarbatti or Long Stick
Always use a long-handled sparkler (agarbatti) or a long stick to light firecrackers. Never use matches, lighters, or bare flames directly.
Maintain Distance
Light one firecracker at a time and move away immediately and safely after lighting. Keep a safe distance from the lit cracker.
Light on a Flat Surface
Place ground-based firecrackers (like chakras, flower pots) on a hard, flat, non-combustible surface.
Never Hold in Hand
Do not hold any firecracker in your hand while lighting it, unless it is specifically designed to be handheld (like a sparkler, but even then, with caution).
Avoid Misuse
Never throw firecrackers at people, animals, or objects. Do not light them inside any container or bottle.
No Re-lighting Duds
If a firecracker fails to ignite after lighting, do NOT attempt to re-light it. Wait for at least 20 minutes, then approach it carefully and douse it completely in water before safely disposing of it.
After the Sparkle: Post-Celebration Safety
Douse Used Crackers
After the celebration, collect all used firecracker remnants and douse them thoroughly in a bucket of water before disposing of them. This prevents any lingering embers from reigniting.
Check for Lingering Embers
Before leaving the area, thoroughly check for any smoldering materials, especially in dry grass or nearby bushes.
Proper Disposal
Dispose of soaked firecracker waste in a metal bin or a non-combustible container, away from regular waste.
Important Reminders
Children and Sparklers
Even sparklers burn at extremely high temperatures. Always supervise children closely, ensure they hold sparklers at arm's length, and have a bucket of water or sand nearby for immediate dousing of used sparklers.
Alcohol & Fireworks Don't Mix
Never handle firecrackers under the influence of alcohol or any impairing substances.
Emergency Contacts
By following these safety guidelines, you can ensure a joyful and accident-free celebration for everyone.
