Fireworks are used worldwide during national and cultural celebrations. Iranians celebrate the last Wednesday of the Persian year (ILWEF) as an ancient custom. The aim of this study was to determine safety preparedness of inhabitation in Tehran, the capital city of Iran, for 2007 ILWEF fireworks. In this study, interviewers referred to randomly selected addresses after the end of ILWEF. They asked responders about source of information on how to use firework items and having education of safe use of fireworks. Also people were asked about having first aid kits and fire extinguisher at home. The study included 2475 families. To learn how to use fireworks, 1.3% had read brochures; the remainder of responders obtained their information from miscellaneous sources with unknown validity. Only 1.1% of them have had some sort of education on the safe use of fireworks. According to responders, 98.4% did not have any information about the safety standards of fireworks. We conclude that Tehranian households were not sufficiently prepared to guarantee a safe festival. It seems safety preparedness of the community to prevent firework related fires and injuries, by relevant education and promotion of fire safety equipments, needs to be reconsidered in Tehran. Considering the impaired safety preparedness of community for fireworks festival, individuals should attend public fireworks displays conducted by professionals rather than engage in personal use of fireworks. Restriction of the use of fireworks and banning firecrackers lacking appropriate insertions on safety instructions are other solutions to be considered.
烟花在全球范围内的国家和文化庆典中都会被使用。伊朗人将伊朗年的最后一个星期三（伊朗新年前夕烟花节）作为一项古老习俗来庆祝。本研究的目的是确定伊朗首都德黑兰居民针对2007年伊朗新年前夕烟花节的安全准备情况。在这项研究中，采访人员在伊朗新年前夕烟花节结束后随机走访选定的地址。他们询问受访者关于烟花使用信息的来源以及是否接受过烟花安全使用教育。同时还询问人们家中是否备有急救箱和灭火器。该研究涵盖了2475个家庭。关于如何使用烟花，1.3%的人阅读过宣传手册；其余受访者从各种来源获取信息，其有效性未知。只有1.1%的人接受过某种烟花安全使用方面的教育。据受访者称，98.4%的人对烟花安全标准一无所知。我们得出结论：德黑兰的家庭在保障节日安全方面准备不足。在德黑兰，似乎需要通过相关教育和推广消防安全设备来重新考虑社区预防烟花相关火灾和伤害的安全准备情况。鉴于社区在烟花节方面安全准备不足，个人应参加由专业人员举办的公共烟花表演，而不是自行燃放烟花。限制烟花使用以及禁止缺乏适当安全说明插页的鞭炮是其他需要考虑的解决办法。
