FIREWORKS SAFETY TIPS

This 4th of July keep it safe for everyone with the following Fireworks Safety Tips:

1: Make sure you understand your county and city’s fireworks laws. They may be illegal where you live.

2: Never let your kids light or handle fireworks. Even sparklers can get as hot as a blow torch.

3: Never point fireworks at other people. Obviously.

4: Never put your face or any other body part over fireworks while lighting them.

5: Always have a bucket of water or water hose handy in case of fire.

6: Douse duds, or fireworks that don’t ignite, with water. Never relight a firework. Soak them in a bucket of water.
