FIREWORK SAFETY TIPS
Protocols for how to stay safe while you are enjoying the explosions and colors of the 4th of July fireworks:
We all love fireworks, however, it doesn’t make it the wisest choice to purchase and light our own around other homes and in town. Instead of handling fireworks on your own, attend your public firework display where professionals will do the dangerous part for you, and you can lay back and enjoy the view! These displays are organized with many safety measures and supervised by trained individuals to ensure a safer experience for all of us!
Follow local laws and guidelines: Familiarize yourself with the laws and regulations regarding fireworks in your area. Purchase legal fireworks from licensed sellers and use them only in designated areas, adhering to specific guidelines. Know the differences in sizes when it comes to the fireworks you purchase. Public display fireworks are not recommended or typically legal in town.
Practice safe handling and disposal: If you choose to use fireworks at home, follow safety protocols. Designate a responsible adult and always maintain a safe distance from the fireworks when ignited, never relight or handle malfunctioning fireworks, and keep a water hose and fire extinguisher near you. Wear safety glasses, protect your body with non-flammable clothing, and keep children and pets at a safe distance.
Prioritizing safety during Fourth of July fireworks helps prevent accidents and injuries. Attend public displays for a professionally managed experience, adhere to local laws and guidelines, and follow safe handling and disposal practices. Remember, a responsible and cautious approach ensures a memorable and enjoyable celebration while minimizing risks associated with fireworks
The fourth is just around the corner! Please prioritize yours and your families safety to prevent any injuries. It is always recommended to attend a public display rather than at home. Enjoy the beautiful display of explosive colors in the sky.
