Happy 4th of July!! If you are handling fireworks
today, remember to be careful. Almost
half of all fireworks-related injuries happen around July Fourth. Here are a few tips to help keep your
celebration safe.
Firework Safety:
- Check the Law – If you are celebrating in NY, the possession and use of fireworks is illegal. Enjoy the holiday by attending a public show instead!
- Supervision – Make sure that children are always supervised when handling fireworks. Always have a bucket of water or hose ready just in case the firework needs to be put out in a hurry.
- Managing Dud Fireworks – Every once in a while you’ll get a “dude” firework that doesn’t go off like it was supposed to. However, it’s still dangerous. Wait 20 minutes and then soak the firework in water to be safe.
- Sparklers – Sparklers are common for young children and families! Remember to never hold or attempt to light more than one sparkler at a time. Also remember that the wire and stick may be hot long after the sparkler has gone out.
- Be Cautious – Always stand back when a firework is being lit. It may seem like common sense, but many fireworks can backfire or go off in the wrong direction.
