-
Always wear eye protection when lighting fireworks, and keep a supply of water or a fire extinguisher close by.
-
Never aim fireworks directly at people, animals, vehicles, structures, or flammable materials.
-
Only light one firework at a time, and toss a ‘dud’ into water if it doesn’t work the first time.
-
Consider leaving the fireworks to the experts, and attend a professional display instead. Check out one of these fireworks celebrations around town.
-
When grilling, always make sure the grill is supervised at all times, and watch out for children playing in close proximity.
-
Use long-handled tools made specifically for grilling rather than regular kitchen utensils to keep a safe distance from the flame.
-
Only add lighter fluid to the grill prior to igniting the flame.
