annies home: Be Safe with Fireworks

Its that time of year full of summer fun and so much going on. While this year has been quite different than other years with many events cancelled and others simply not even being mentioned many have started to entertain their selves. This may all be well however, when it comes to fireworks there should always be one thing we keep in mind.

Remember you are not a professional so leave the fireworks including those packed in brown paper to those that are pros at fireworks. An adult should be present at all times when children even teens are using anytime of firework including sparklers. Young children should never be allowed to play or light fireworks. In addition, never point or throw fireworks at anyone and stand back after lighting the fireworks.

Being safe also means being prepared. Being prepared for the what ifs can be as easy as keeping a bucket of water or a garden hose ready and handy. Fireworks should be lit and shot according to directions never using metal or glass containers to shoot the fireworks off. While cleaning up pick up fireworks that did not ignite and toss do not relight. Before tossing any firework leftover in the trash be sure to douse it first in water.

Many states and areas do not allow fireworks so be sure that in your area fireworks are legal.
