Annually, the use of fireworks has brought misery instead of the happiness it should have brought. Here are some of the effects we need to look at and see what we can do about it.

The worst, there are victims of fireworks that are children.
2. These can cause fires. Ignition of fireworks should be done by adults and keep children off the task. There are incidents when children play the fireworks and set it near flammable materials that it causes fire. Care should be taken when lighting fireworks in places where there are highly-flammable materials. It also goes without saying that they should not be lit indoors and in grassy areas.

4. Can cause distress to animals. Studies shows that the noise caused by fireworks distressed animals. Dogs in particular, feel distressed by the loud noises created by fireworks. While it cannot be avoided entirely, what pet owners can do is to hide pets in a room where the noise is the least audible.

Though one side pushes for a total ban of its use, a compromise can be made by regulating not only use of fireworks but by regulating who and for what reason it will be used. In doing so, the harmful effects of fireworks will minimal and lives can be saved.
