Firework Tips to Help Keep Safe this 4th of July!

This seems like a no-brainer, but many people who shoot off fireworks fail to keep a fire extinguisher or bucket of water nearby to handle small incidents of fire.

If you can get a fire out while it is small it has a less likely chance of becoming a big fire!

Kids and fire don’t go together so always make sure your kids are under adult supervision when handling or being around any sort of flame or fireworks.

Also, make sure they understand the basics of fire safety and being responsible around fire/fireworks.

After you have finished setting off your stash of fireworks, consider soaking used and unused fireworks in a bucket filled with water.

Every year, thousands of fires are started after used fireworks are put into trash cans before they are fully extinguished!

It goes without saying that using fireworks indoors is never a good idea! Whether it’s raining or snowing outside, it’s never a good plan to light a firework of any kind inside a house, barn or pavilion.

The chance of something going wrong and a significant fire occurring is just too high.

Fireworks should be used in a wide open area away from all flammable plants and other materials. Each and every year, stray fireworks cause fires which lead to structure and property damage that costs thousands of dollars to repair.

Even more important than that, the fires threaten the health and lives of friends and family near the fireworks.
