    Meanwhile, Government is reminding residents to exercise care and caution if using personal fireworks during celebrations. Only use fireworks outdoors in a clear, open area. Monitor wind strength and direction to ensure fireworks do not impact buildings, vehicles, overhead obstructions or dry brush/grass. Ensure all spectators are at least 20 metres away from the fireworks at all times. Wait 30 minutes before attempting to pick up misfired fireworks and never attempt to re-light them.
