Happy Fourth! Make Safety your top priority today.

Happy Fourth, everyone!!

While we all enjoy a good firework show at home, it’s not always completely safe. Let’s make sure that we all practice safety this fun weekend! πŸŽ†πŸ’™πŸ€πŸ’–πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

– Never allow young ones to handle fireworks, and always make sure that even the older ones are supervised while handling them.

– Never hold a lit firework in your hands.

– Only use fireworks away from people, homes, and flammable items.

– Do not try to re-light or handle “duds.” Wait 20 minutes, then soak it in a bucket of water to prevent fire spread or serious injury.

– Never place any body part over a fireworks device.

– Sparklers burn hotter than you think! At about 2,000 degrees, they can ignite clothing or severely burn people.

Some safety facts:

– 33% of fireworks injuries happen to the hands and fingers.

– 69% of injuries are burns.

– 47% of firecracker injuries were caused by small firecrackers.

– 39% of individuals that end up in the ER on the 4th are under the age of 20.
