How do I safely set up a fireworks show?
Here are some of the many things you can do to safely set up a fireworks show. Our best tips are on our safety page. Here are some high-level tips:
- 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.

Safety questions

In Utah, you need to be 16 years old to purchase and handle fireworks (ID required).
How can I prepare the fireworks before the show?
You can prepare for your fireworks show by watering grass ahead of time and ensuring spectators are away from the fireworks themselves. Don’t store the fireworks to be used during the show close to your lighting area. Do not light fireworks close to vehicles.
How do I safely light my fireworks?
An adult (over age 18) should light the fireworks and spectators should not be within 100 feet of where the firework is placed.
What should I have on hand when lighting fireworks?
Make sure you have a garden hose close by as well as a bucket of water.
Where should I light off my fireworks?
Fireworks are best lit in an open area where they can be bricked and the audience is far enough away to be safe during the show.
If you plan to light fireworks around grass, we recommend watering your grass to minimize its flammability.
What is bricking? How do I prevent fireworks from falling over?
To prevent fireworks from falling over, place bricks on the sides of the firework cake. This practice is known as bricking.
What if the firework doesn’t go off?
If a firework doesn’t go off, wait 20 minutes then douse them with water. Do not try to relight them.
What do I do if embers land on the roof, grass, etc?
Make sure you douse the roof and call 911 if you have any concerns.
Something caught on fire! What do we do?
Call 911.
How do I dispose of my fireworks?
Once the show is over, wet down the remains to ensure they’re completely out. Then let the firework remains dry and throw them away in the trash.
Please ensure you clean up all firework debris.
How do I store fireworks? Do fireworks expire?
Storing fireworks carries risk. If you opt to store them, store them in a container that’s easily identified, and away from anything flammable. Remember fireworks are only allowed to be shoo off during specific days each year. On the average, fireworks are usually good for around five years.
