\"ColorfulFireworks\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fireworks are gorgeous from a distance, but up close we need to have our wits about us to avoid serious bodily injury and property damage. Each year\u00a0thousands of injuries<\/strong>\u00a0are caused by fireworks. The 4th of July is right around the corner and with that in mind, please be extra cautious and remember the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fireworks are NOT toys – they are explosives that contain combustible chemicals and gunpowder and can burn upwards of 2,000 degrees<\/strong>, so keep away from children.<\/li>\n
  2. Have water and a fire extinguisher nearby in case a fire starts.<\/li>\n
  3. Secure your firework completely before lighting the fuse to make sure it stays upright.<\/li>\n
  4. Ignite your firework at an angle and quickly back away to a safe distance<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  5. Only set off one firework at a time<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  6. Use a wide open space<\/strong> – avoid shooting off fireworks near buildings, crowds, or dry fields.<\/li>\n
  7. When finished, placed used fireworks in bucket of water and dispose <\/strong>of all\u00a0debris.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Remember to check for\u00a0fireworks shows you can attend in your area that are designed and operated by pyrotechnic professionals so you can enjoy from a distance!<\/p>\n

    Happy 4th of July! Stay safe!<\/span><\/h2>\n
