Fireworks Safety Tips


The 4th of July and fireworks are basically synonymous. If you haven't already started, no matter where you live chances are you'll be hearing things going "boom" pretty soon. Here are a few important safety tips to remember this holiday:

  1. Never use fireworks indoors.
  2. Designate a safety perimeter.
  3. Keep pets indoors and provide comfort if stressed.
  4. Soak all fireworks (whether used or not) before discarding.

Find more safety tips and information from the National Safety Council.
