JUNE IS FIREWORKS SAFETY AWARENESS MONTH
Nothing is more synonymous with Independence Day as fireworks and
practicing fireworks safety. It is an important way to make sure your
holiday weekend is as enjoyable and fun as possible. The following are
additional safety tips when you embark on your celebrations:
• DO NOT wear loose clothing while using fireworks or near an
open flame, such as a grill or campfire.
• ALWAYS read the directions and warning labels on fireworks. If a
device is not marked with the contents, directions or a warning
label, do not light it.
• Supervise children around fireworks at ALL times. Keep them a
safe distance away from the adult responsible for lighting them.
• Lastly, if you attend a public fireworks show, stay within approved
areas for spectators. DO NOT try to get around safety barriers for
a closer look. Even at sanctioned events, accidents can happen,
which is why safety barriers keep crowds at a distance.
Fireworks are entertaining but dangerous, so make sure that
safety considerations are a priority when planning your holiday
celebration.
