Firework accident statistics
Half of all firework injuries happen to children under 16.

Most firework accidents happen at domestic displays in the garden.

Hands and eyes are at most risk of injury from fireworks.

Sparklers are arguably the most dangerous firework. They mostly cause injury when people take hold of the stalk, which remains extremely hot, after the sparkler has finished sparkling. Have a bucket of water ready and make sure everyone drops their sparklers in it as soon as they are finished.

Three sparklers burning generate the same amount of heat as a blow-torch.
