Susan Mathews and husband, Larry, stock the Rainbow Fireworks stand Saturday getting ready for its Wednesday opening in Bethel Heights.

Fireworks Safety Tips
Alcohol and fireworks don’t mix. Have a “designated shooter” to light all fireworks.
Make sure the area is clear of all foliage and overhanging tree branches.
Keep a 50-foot clearance from building, vehicles and spectators.
Keep an extinguisher or water hose nearby.
Don’t wear open-toe shoes or loose clothing.
Parents should supervise children at all times.
Fireworks should be lit from a flat surface.
Read the directions on each firework.
Plan ahead and pay attention.
