Still Need Fireworks for Fourth?

The relatively new summer tradition of temporary outdoor fireworks sales has continued in 2013, with several outdoor locations in East Providence and some retail stores selling fireworks.

TNT Fireworks has set up several tents again at Forbes Square off the Wampanoag Trail at Forbes Street. 

Phantom Fireworks has set up space at 65 Newport Ave.  

Keystone Fireworks is selling from a tent in the parking lot between the Pawtucket Credit Union and Rite-Aid pharmacy on Warren Avenue.

Wherever you buy your fireworks. here are some safety tips for using fireworks from Keystone:

• Don't let kids handle or light fireworks. Fireworks are intended to be handled only by adults.
• Don't use alcohol while lighting fireworks.
• Do follow the law. Read all directions, cautions, labels and warning on each individual fireworks item to understand the product performance and hazards associated with the use of the item.
• Do light fireworks on a hard, flat level surface to insure the stability of the items.
• Do keep viewers, especially children, a safe distance away from the shooting site.
• Don't put your head or any part of your body over the top of any firework product. Never hold lighted fireworks in your hand. Never look into a tube to check on the performance of the item.
• Do light fireworks products with a punk, flare or an extended butane lighting device, enabling you to keep as far from the product as possible.
• Don't attempt to re-light, alter or fix any "dud" firework.

This year marks the third summer since the Rhode Island General Assembly approved the sale of some fireworks in the last days of the 2010 legislative session.
