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.
Remember, NY state and local officials warn against the possession and use of fireworks this weekend.  Always be careful and enjoy the holiday safely!
