Fireworks should be used outdoors only to ensure safety. Indoor spaces, such as rooms with high roofs, houses, or cars, are not suitable for fireworks due to the risk of fire, damage, and injury. Outdoors provides a larger area and reduces the chances of accidents caused by fireworks. Additionally, the open space allows for proper ventilation and minimizes the risk of smoke inhalation. It is important to follow safety guidelines and use fireworks responsibly to prevent accidents and protect oneself and others.Rate this question:
