The City of Destin encourages everyone to think “safety first” if you plan to set off your own fireworks.

“Firework laws shall be enforced and if you plan to purchase legal fireworks do so from a state-certified fireworks distributor only,” wrote the city in a press release. “Place used fireworks in a bucket of water before you dispose of them, keep small children and animals away from the fireworks and never relight those that do not work.”
