HANDLE WITH CARE
Fireworks Safety for All Ages
WORD SEARCH June Fireworks are a beautiful, exciting way to celebrate our freedom as a nation, and they are a big part of many wonderful childhood memories. Be smart and practice caution so you and your family can continue to enjoy this fun tradition. Beware of Duds If a firework does not go off when you light it, don’t stand over it to take a closer look or attempt to relight it. Keep a bucket of water handy to pour over duds to ensure they won’t explode unexpectedly. Properly Dispose of Fireworks Soak all fireworks in water before throwing them away. This includes fireworks that went off just fine, as well as fireworks you decided not to use at all. Pay Attention to Your Location It may be legal to set off fireworks around your home, but you should check into the laws regarding your neighborhood or complex. Fireworks are not allowed in state parks, and you must have a special license to use fireworks in public parks. You may not light fireworks within 100 yards of a hospital, prison, nursing home, gas station, or nuclear power plant.
There’s nothing like watching the night sky light up with dazzling bursts of red, white, and blue. The Fourth of July is just weeks away, and many people have already begun to stock up on fireworks. But a stunning fireworks display can quickly become dangerous if you’re not careful. Here’s what you need to know to have a fun and safe Independence Day. Fireworks Are Not Toys Make sure kids — and adults — are aware of how dangerous fireworks can be. Follow safety guidelines, only light fireworks one at a time, don’t point or throw fireworks at another person, and don’t hold fireworks in your hands after lighting them. Younger kids should never handle fireworks, and older kids should always be supervised by adults. Sparklers Are Also Dangerous Typically seen as a “safe” firework, sparklers burn at around 1,800 F, hot enough to melt gold. Make sure your child is mature enough to handle sparklers, and make sure that their arms are long enough to keep the burning sparks well away from their face, clothing, and hair.
