HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA 🎉
Tonight is the night for all things pop, crackle and sparkly!
So what’s the best way to stay safe while setting off your assortment of pyrotechnics?
Here’s a few tips:
💥 Have a hose, fire extinguisher or buckets of water ready incase anything goes awry.
💥 Have ear protection ready for babies, very young children and folks with sensory concerns.
💥 Set up all fireworks on a clear, level surface to avoid them tipping over.
💥 Use a lighter with a long tip or long matchsticks (think fireplace, not cigarette).
💥 Do NOT allow children to handle, light, or wander around fireworks unsupervised.
💥 If a firework doesn’t go off, do NOT pick it up, poke it or kick it. Do NOT attempt to light it again. Let it sit for about 20 minutes, then douse it with water, let it sit some more, then submerge it fully over night and throw it away.
💥 Accidents happen, so have a First Aid kit ready with bandages and burn ointment just incase.
💥 Have a large receptacle (bucket, trash can, rubbermaid container) filled with water. After the show, spray all the spent fireworks down with water, carefully collect them and dump them into the water-filled container. Let them soak overnight before throwing them away the next day.
Fireworks are a lot of fun, but they can cause injuries and damage if not handled responsibly.
