What is the best way to set up a fireworks show to prevent accidents?

- Make sure you have a clean and flat surface where you can place the fireworks.
- Make sure it is away from items that might catch fire.
- Water down your grass prior to enjoying your fireworks show.
- Make sure there is ample room away from the fireworks for people to interact.
