Fireworks fill the sky with colors in the dark of night, but a little carelessness also takes away all the colors from life. In such a situation, great care should be taken while lighting fireworks. If you are also going to burn fireworks on Diwali, then keep them away from fire. Always carry a bucket of water while lighting fireworks. Do not allow small children to light fireworks. Also, always wear cotton clothes while lighting fireworks. This will prevent fire. Wear goggles when lighting fireworks. This will protect your eyes from any accident.
