Fireworks Safety Tips

Fireworks and celebrations go together, especially during
the Fourth of July.
But fireworks can be dangerous, causing serious burn and eye injuries.

If fireworks are legal where you live and you decide to set them off on your own, be sure to follow these important safety tips:

  Never allow children to play with or ignite fireworks

        Read and follow all warnings and instructions

         Be sure other people are out of range before lighting fireworks.

        Only light fireworks on a smooth, flat surface away from the house, dry leaves, and flammable materials.

         Never try to relight fireworks that have not fully functioned.

        Keep a bucket of water or water hose in case of a malfunction or fire.

        In case of an emergency call 911- if you need us we will be there!
