Fireworks Safety
Celebrating our nation’s independence with family and friends typically centers around food, fun, and especially fireworks! But that fun can be quickly doused when something goes wrong. In 2010, 8600 injuries were the result of fireworks, with 2 out of every 5 of those injured under the age of 15. Also, more fires are reported on the 4th of July than any other day of the year. Taking the right precautions will ensure you enjoy your holiday instead of dealing with serious injuries or even death.
