Fireworks are a great opportunity to celebrate with friends and family, but where you can buy fireworks and whether they are legal depends on where you live, what you are buying, and what sort of experience you have. It is important to know what you're allowed to buy and detonate, as getting it wrong can land you a hefty fine or at worst, jail time. Here, we'll go over some of the basic information you'll need to know if you plan on purchasing fireworks, as well as some of the different types that may be available to you.
While you can't buy fireworks just anywhere because of the differences from place to place concerning their legality, there are lots available online. However, while buying them online might not be difficult, you need to know whether you are legally allowed to use them. Different areas have different laws concerning pyrotechnics, and you should always know whether or not you're allowed to blow something up before doing so. Most areas do not allow just anyone to detonate commercial grade fireworks, and some places do not allow them at all. Be sure you are familiar with local regulations as well as the classifications of the type of firework you are purchasing.
Most places will allow you to buy fireworks that fall into a low explosive category, such as bottle rockets, firecrackers, and other personal grade models. Some areas allow more powerful versions. There are several grades of fireworks. Category 1 fireworks are those that can be safely used indoors or in small areas, such as sparklers, and pose little to no risk of injury or fire. Category 2 fireworks are commonly referred to as 'garden fireworks' because they can be used in a back yard or the street. They can be safely viewed from a distance of five meters, and do not scatter debris more than three. Category 3 fireworks, also known as "display" fireworks, are safely viewed from twenty-five meters and do not scatter debris more than fifty. Category 4 are professional grade fireworks, which require training, storage, and insurance to purchase and use.
Depending on what regulations there are, you can buy fireworks and use them in your own home in a number of ways. There are a multitude of different types available, in various colours, styles, and strengths. Knowing what you want and balancing that with what regulations there are will ensure you are happy and safe.
