Big Bang Fireworks has been safely selling legal fireworks in Virginia for over 20 years. We scour the country to find the best new and spectacular fireworks each year that conform to the "Safe and Sane" designation permitted by the State of Virginia.

Follow your local and state laws regarding the possession and use of fireworks. Never use illegal fireworks or explosives. Never experiment with homemade fireworks or attempt to alter fireworks.

Never carry fireworks in your pocket or shoot them in metal or glass containers. Never smoke when handling fireworks.

Read and follow all warnings and lighting instructions on the item's label.

Never use fireworks indoors.

Use fireworks in a clear, open area away from buildings and vehicles, making sure the area overhead is free from obstructions.  Keep the audience a safe distance away from the shooting site.  Watch out for dry grass, dry brush or any flammable items that could catch fire.

Always have water (hose or buckets) and/or a fire extinguisher on hand when displaying fireworks. During any fireworks shoot there should always be someone assigned as the fireman, whose job it is to be alert and at the ready with a water source for emergencies.

A responsible adult should supervise all fireworks activities. Never give fireworks to young children.

Don't stand over the fireworks while lighting them. Never put your head or any part of your body over the top of any fireworks product at any time. Never hold a lighted firework in your hand. Move back quickly once lit.

"Punk," lighting sticks, and extended butane lighting devices give you more distance from the item when lighting the fuse. Light the fuse only on the tip.  Use a flashlight at night so you can see the fuse.  Never use a lantern or other flame-producing device near fireworks for illumination.  Light the fireworks product and get away quickly.

Light only one firework at a time.

We recommend that individuals lighting fireworks and those in close proximity to fireworks wear safety glasses.

Please do not consume alcohol when using fireworks. Fireworks must be used by individuals who act in responsible manner and who are not impaired in any way.

Be cautious when lighting fireworks during strong wind conditions. Always light fireworks with the prevailing wind blowing away from spectators. If the wind shifts during shooting, stop and rearrange the shooting site to accommodate the wind shift.

Never aim, point , or throw any fireworks at another person or at property.

If a firework fails to light or completely discharge, wait a few minutes to approach it. Never try to fix it and don't attempt to relight it. If you return a defective item to the store, we will be happy to replace it.

Be careful when shooting fireworks around animals. The noise and lights of fireworks may frighten animals.

Completely extinguish all used fireworks with water and allow them to cool in a safe place overnight before disposing of them.

Store fireworks in a cool dry place and dispose of them properly.

This is a violation of federal law.
