Happy Independence Day!!
Did you know 240 people go to the hospital everyday this month just for firework injuries?!
Here's to all fun and no fear this 4th:
1. Supervise children around fireworks. It's best to not even give sparklers to small children. (Did you know they can get as hot as a blow torch?!) Keep a close watch on all kids and teens and remind them of the dangers.
2. Aim fireworks away from friends and family. It's not funny to even pretend to point a firework at someone and remember not to store them in your pockets. A little distance can go a long way.
3. Keep a bucket or garden hose handy just in case. Even when you're being careful, accidents can happen. If something does happen, at least you'll be ready!
4. Rinse down all fireworks before disposal. Wind or other factors may be able to reignite old flames. Ensure your garbage doesn't catch fire by making sure everything's put out first.
