Know the Dangers: Fireworks and Celebrations

The Fourth of July is one of Key Biscayne's favorite holidays! This year, your Key Biscayne Fire Rescue reminds residents to be extra careful when using fireworks this holiday.

Never use homemade and/or illegal fireworks.
Clear away any dry vegetation and debris from the area before igniting any fireworks.
Always have a water source, full bucket of water and/or fire-extinguisher, lose at hand.
Be sure those watching are at a safe distance from where fireworks are being ignited.
Use safety eyewear, glasses or goggles, to protect your eyes while igniting fireworks.
Never carry fireworks in your pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers.
Do not allow children to play with or light fireworks.
If a firework does not light or fire, let it sit for at least 20 minutes then carefully place it in a bucket of water.
Make sure fireworks are cold before handling and place all used fireworks into a bucket of water.
Be sure unused fireworks are out of the sight and reach of children before, during and after your celebration.

Remember that if you have changed your address or you are new to the Village, it is important that you register your child or children with the corresponding Miami-Dade County Public Schools sooner than later.
