Fireworks sold by Red Apple have information boxes for the consumer , ranging from small infoboxes showing colors and effects up to larger info panels with QR codes linking to videos of the fireworks in action , Mike said .
Until the arrival of Red Apple in Valdosta , most area fireworks sales were at popup sites , tents , or trailers situated for a few weeks at church sites or shopping districts just before major holidays .
“ Our average customer looks for a better shopping experience — a fully stocked , clean , air-conditioned store ,” Mike said . “ We , being a permitted store , are not a fly-by-night operation .”
> Fireworks Safety Tips
• Do not light fireworks in a container . You should be in an open area away from flammable materials .
• Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby for emergencies and to pour on fireworks that fail to ignite or explode .
• Do not allow children to light or handle sparklers without adult supervision . They can burn at up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit .
• Do not try to relight , pick up , or handle malfunctioning fireworks . Soak them with water and throw them away .
• After fireworks complete their burning , douse the spent device with plenty of water from a bucket or hose before discarding it to prevent a trash fire .
• You should store fireworks in a cool , dry place . Keep unused fireworks away from fire and flammable areas . Be sure to check the instructions for any special storage directions .
