Firework safety setup in Exeter

Want comprehensive safety for your display? Here's what you need:

🔧 Professional equipment

• 2+ fire extinguishers (ABC rated)
• Multiple water buckets and sand buckets
• Work lights for launch area
• Warning signs and zone markers
• First aid kit (comprehensive)

📐 Professional setup approach

Zone planning:

1. Launch zone - 3m x 3m minimum, hard barriers
2. Exclusion zone - 5m radius, no entry during display
3. Spectator zone - defined area with clear sightlines
4. Equipment staging - organized prep area
5. Emergency access - clear routes maintained

Safety infrastructure:

1. Barrier placement - physical barriers, not just marking
2. Extinguisher positions - multiple locations, easy access
3. Lighting setup - illuminate launch area properly
4. Signage placement - clear warnings and directions
5. Equipment organization - systematic staging area

Emergency preparation:

1. Designated safety officer
2. Emergency phone charged and accessible
3. First aid kit positioned and known location
4. Water supplies adequate and accessible
5. Clear evacuation plan if needed

⚠️ Critical professional standards

• Never compromise on barrier integrity
• Always have backup fire suppression
• Maintain clear emergency access
• Brief all adults on safety procedures
• Have designated responsible person in charge

💡 Pro trick: Create a pre-display safety checklist and physically check each item before starting. Professional displays use checklists for a reason - they prevent overlooking critical safety elements in the excitement.
