Fireworks Safety

• Only use legal fireworks: Ensure you are using fireworks that are permitted in our area and follow all local regulations.
• Supervise children: Never allow young children to handle fireworks. Even sparklers can be dangerous.
• Keep a safe distance: Light fireworks one at a time, then move back quickly. Maintain a safe distance from other people, buildings, and flammable materials.
• Have water ready: Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby in case of fire or other emergencies.
• Dispose of fireworks properly: Douse used fireworks with water before disposing of them to prevent fires.

Don't Drink and Drive

• Designate a sober driver: Plan ahead and arrange for a sober driver if you plan to drink alcohol.
• Use public transportation or ride-sharing services: Take advantage of local public transportation or ride-sharing services to get home safely.
• Host responsibly: If you are hosting a gathering, provide non-alcoholic beverages and ensure guests have a safe way to get home.
• Stay overnight if needed: If you are visiting friends or family, consider staying overnight rather than driving home.

By taking simple yet effective safety measures, we can ensure that this 4th of July is memorable for all the right reasons. Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and safe Independence Day!
