### Garden Fireworks Done Safely
Garden firework displays are brilliant fun until **something goes wrong**. Firework lands in the wrong place, someone's too close, nobody's got a fire extinguisher, kids running around the launch area.
Proper setup takes maybe an hour and makes all the difference between safe family fun and A&E.
> ⚠️ **Safety first:** Most firework accidents are preventable with proper setup. Don't just wing it in the garden and hope.

It's not complicated, but it **needs thinking through before you light anything**.

Good to Know
> 🎆 **Bonfire Night package?** Combine with garden clearance, bonfire area prep, and post-event cleanup if you're doing the full celebration. Comprehensive safety setup. **Devon weather in November** can be wet and windy. Check forecast and have a backup date. Never light fireworks in strong wind - they become unpredictable and dangerous. **Legal requirements:** Use only fireworks bought from licensed sellers. Bonfire Night (5th November) fireworks can be used until midnight. Other times are more restricted. Check local bylaws if in doubt. **Exeter's older properties** with mature gardens need careful assessment - established trees mean overhead hazards. Victorian terraces might have gardens too small for some displays. I'll be honest about what can be done safely in your space. **Neighbors:** Let them know you're having a display, especially if they've got pets or young children. It's just decent behavior and prevents complaints or surprise.
Frequently Asked Questions about Firework safety setup in Honiton
What does firework safety setup actually involve?
Creating a properly organized display area - marking the launch zone, positioning spectators at safe distance, checking for overhead hazards, positioning fire extinguisher and water bucket, clearing the area of trip hazards and flammables. It's about doing it safely rather than just lighting fireworks in the garden.
Do I really need this - we've done fireworks before?
Most garden firework accidents happen to people who 'do it every year.' Proper setup takes 10 minutes but makes a huge safety difference - especially if you've got kids watching or neighbors close by. It's the difference between controlled display and hoping for the best.
Can you stay for the actual display?
I set up the safety measures and brief you on safe operation - I don't light fireworks or supervise the display itself. You're in charge of the actual firework lighting, but I make sure the area is set up properly beforehand. Think of it as safety preparation, not running the show.
What if my garden is quite small?
Small gardens might not be suitable for all fireworks - I'll assess what can be done safely. Some fireworks need more space than others. If your garden's too small for safe setup, I'll tell you honestly. Better to know before you've bought the fireworks.
Will you check my fireworks are safe?
I'll advise on general safety, but I'm not a firework expert checking individual items. Buy from reputable shops, check they're legal UK fireworks, read the instructions. My job is setting up the display area safely - you're responsible for the fireworks themselves being appropriate and legal.
