My camera settings are ISO 100 200 400 and the exposure is up to 30sec it has a timer as well and can multi shoot. I will be using a tripod.

I hope there is someone who can advise me the settings such as exposure time and ISO and if I do single shot or multi shoot

Barb,

Here's my last lot of fireworks shots with settings (in the first post).

I would suggest about 200ASA, 8 seconds, multishot. If it has in camera noise reduction, turn it off to minimise the delay between shots.

Do you have manual focus? If you can prefocus manually on something very close to where the fireworks will be it will eliminate problems where the camera is continually adjusting focus between fireworks bursts.
