Welcome to another Fireworks Plus Blog! With December upon us and the holiday spirit in full swing, there’s no better way to add excitement to your celebrations than with the sparkle of fireworks lighting up the winter nights. Whether you’re planning a dazzling display for New Year’s Eve or a burst of color for festive gatherings, fireworks bring a magical touch that everyone will remember. The crisp, chilly air provides the perfect setting for brilliant colors and effects, creating a cozy, memorable atmosphere for family and friends. In this blog, we’ll explore top fireworks for the season, essential safety tips, and creative ways to make your holiday celebrations truly unforgettable.

Going into the first section of this blog, we'll go over firework safety during the winter months. Tips on how to safely ignite and manage fireworks in colder conditions, such as protecting the fuses from moisture and avoiding slips and falls on icy ground. Remember not to shove your fireworks into the snow, this can cause the cake to get wet and either dud out or break apart. This can also help when trying to light the fuse, if the fuse is wet you won't be able to light the cake or watch the beautiful spectacle that it is. Also, the winter months are wet, and slippery, and can cause injuries, make sure if you're trying to get away from a lit firework. It's best to light your fireworks, and calmly walk to a safe distance, running, taking off, or trying to turn around quickly can cause slipping and unneeded injuries. Be safe and watch your step.

Now going into our actual blog, some creative ways you can spice up your Christmas this year would be reusing the spent novelties as Christmas ornaments, like:

• Party Popper Baubles: Paint the exterior of the party poppers in festive colors like red, green, or gold, or wrap them in holiday-themed paper. Attach a small loop or string to the top, and hang them on your tree as fun, colorfu

Welcome to the October blog! In this blog we'll be going over fun October celebrations you can do at home, or just learn more about celebrations that happen around the world.

Diwali

Diwali is a great example of an October celebration, also known as the festival of lights. During Diwali, people wear their finest clothes, illuminate the interior and exterior of their homes with saaki (earthen lamp), diyas, and rangoli, perform worship ceremonies of Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity and wealth, light fireworks, and partake in family feasts, where mithai (sweets) and gifts are shared. Known as the ‘festival of lights,’ Diwali – also called Divali or Deepavali – celebrates the triumph of light over dark and good over evil.

The name comes from the Sanskrit word ‘dipavali’, which means row of lights. Many traditions are observed over Diwali, which is celebrated throughout India, Singapore, Nepal, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka to name a few, as well as in other places where there are large Hindu, Sikh, and Jains communities. On the first day of Diwali in India, families clean their homes and create intricate patterns on the floor of their houses or tabletops, using rice, sand, powdered limestone, colored rocks, or flowers. It’s a time-consuming practice and represents the happiness, positivity, and liveliness of a household.

Hindus also use it to welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and good luck. It’s derived from the Sanskrit word ‘rangavalli’ which means color. Lights, of course, are the main event. On the third day (or the second day if you’re in southern India), families gather and celebrate by lighting lanterns and candles in their homes at the entrances and out on the streets. Fireworks are set off, sparklers lit, and Diyas, which is an oil lamp made from clay with a cotton wick dipped in ghee or vegetable oil, is used. A Diya will be lit every morning and every evening. While lighting a Diya

Welcome back to another Blog post by Fireworks Plus, in this blog will be talking about the fall time, and how you can set up your next display with New Year's coming right around the corner!

Fireworks Safety in Cooler Weather:

even in cooler weather, fire safety is crucial. Dry leaves and other fall debris can still pose fire hazards. Safely clear the area of fallen leaves and other flammable materials before setting off fireworks.

Fireworks Storage Tips for the Off-Season: 

As the fall season often leads into a slower period for fireworks use, Storage of past seasons' fireworks is important. In a garage or shed that's water-tight locking shelf or container.

Also always remember local towns, and cities have storage and use regulations for all seasons whether it's mid-summer or mid-winter there are always better and safer ways to use, and store your fireworks.

Planning Ahead for Winter Celebrations: Start planning your winter fireworks displays, such as for New Year’s Eve. This is a great time to start buying before we run out of certain products you might love! Remember that buying early is always better than trying to get your fireworks at the last minute, scrambling to get your order on time. Buying early can always help with the stress of creating your own New Year's display. We have fireworks for all times of the year whether it be Halloween you could grab a Haunted House, or New Year's for your perfect party poppers and sparklers. Whatever you need for your special occasion at any time of the season make Fireworks Plus your first option. Fireworks can bring an extra spark to fall family gatherings, f

Welcome to our after-season blog posts! Now that fireworks are done, and over for the season. You might be asking how to dispose of your spent fireworks. Let's go over the proper ways to dispose of spent cakes, or fountains. Fireworks cannot be recycled or composted. If possible, bring the fireworks to your local solid waste center. Make sure to tell the workers at the waste center that you are disposing of fireworks – and whether they are live, spent, or duds. They have diffrent processes to dispose of each of this kind of fireworks in these states. However, you can add the cardboard casing to your compost heap after you've emptied the contents, opened the casing, and removed any remaining particles. Including all of the metals and gunpowder and giving it a good brush, the cardboard can be added to the compost heap. After removing the casing you'll be able to burn the rest including tubes, full fountains, or spent ground items in a firepit (if fireworks are completely spent, make sure they do not have any live or dud parts of your cake, fountain, and or ground items).

Fireworks are not completely compostable due to the heavy metals used to create the colors, but we can reuse a few things. You can use the sticks from rocket fireworks as plant supports, spent cold sparklers can be used as plant ties depending on the flexibility of each one, make sure they have been burnt down to the end to prevent any potential accidents.

Just like a full circle, after getting rid of your fireworks, soon enough it's time to get more.

Starting off this July blog, I felt there's no better way than to go over a list of top 10 things that would help you shoot fireworks better during the 4th. Each year our company tries to be as safe as possible By following these guidelines. You can enhance your fireworks experience while prioritizing safety for yourself and those around you.

1. Read Instructions: Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each firework. Understanding how each type functions will help ensure a safe and successful display.

2. Choose a Safe Location: Select a flat, open area away from buildings, trees, and other obstructions. Ensure that the ground is stable and non-flammable.

3. Use Safety Gear: Wear protective eyewear and gloves when handling fireworks. Keep a bucket of water, a hose, or a fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergencies.

4. Stabilize Fireworks: Secure fireworks by burying them partially in the ground or using sturdy supports like bricks or cinder blocks to prevent them from tipping over.

5. Light at Arm’s Length: Use a long lighter or a safety fuse to ignite fireworks, keeping your body as far away as possible.

6. One at a Time: Light only one firework at a time and move back quickly. This reduces the risk of multiple simultaneous mishaps.

7. Avoid Relighting: Never attempt to relight a “dud” firework. Wait 20 minutes, then soak it in water before disposing of it.

8. Mind the Weather: Wind can affect the trajectory of fireworks. Shoot them in calm weather conditions to ensure they travel as intended.

9. Clean Up: After the display, properly dispose of all debris. Soak used fireworks in water to prevent accidental fires.

10. Respect Local Laws: Always adhere

Welcome to our Second Blog post! This blog will go over the brands, why certain products are labeled a certain way, effects and styles of fireworks vs color effects, and many other things. 

When you think of fireworks, what brand pops into mind: Winda, Dominator, Shogun? These significant brands could also be smaller starting brands like Shockwave Fireworks, or Class B Fireworks. What makes a brand stand out is not its ability to reach a customer, but of the specific qualities, and effects these brands bring to the table. Choosing a fireworks brand often comes down to factors like quality, safety, variety, and customer satisfaction. Dominator, Winda, and Shogun are reputable brands in the fireworks industry, and each has distinct features that might make them a preferable choice over others. Overall, when compared to other brands, Dominator, Winda, and Shogun might offer better quality assurance, more innovative, varied product lines, and greater overall customer satisfaction. However, the best choice can depend on specific needs, preferences, local availability, and budget. Always consider these factors along with safety practices when selecting a firework. Remember to always stay safe; even sparklers burn at 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, and most consumer shells shoot out of their mortars at an average of 75 feet a second. That's enough to punch a perfect hole through a 1-inch thick piece of plywood!

As we transition from discussing popular brands to the practical aspects of using

Welcome to our first blog post! As this blog takes its first steps, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be bringing you a new post each month, packed with interesting facts, safety tips, and insights into various topics that spark our curiosity and passion. Our goal is to create a space where learning and community intersect, enriching your knowledge and perhaps even igniting new interests. Stay tuned for our series of explorations, and don't forget to mark your calendar for our monthly updates! (Each 1st of the month)

As we embark on this journey of shared knowledge and community engagement, it's essential to prioritize safety, especially when it comes to the dazzling world of fireworks. Fireworks, while stunning, can be dangerous if not handled correctly. Every year, safety mishaps during celebrations remind us of the importance of following proper procedures. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a novice eager to light up the sky, always buy from reputable dealers, follow local regulations, and ensure safety gear and water sources are readily available.  Safety gear, or PPE would include wearing 100% Cotton, or wool, shirts, pants, and gloves, leather is also recomended. This can help tap out any embers that could potentially fall on you. Wearing a 50/50 mix synthetic material can melt, and stick to the skin causing potential burns.  Remember, the beauty of fireworks comes from both their visual beauty and their safe execution. If you live in a area that is a high risk area for bush fires, burn bans, or long droughts make sure you follow your local regions fire safety recommendations. 

To wrap up our first post, we hope to have lit your enthusiasm for both fireworks and the safety that must accompany their use.
