Happy 4th! 🗽 As we gear up for our Fourth of July celebrations tomorrow, remember to make safety your number 1️⃣ priority! Fireworks 🎆 are associated with many risks, including fires 🔥, severe burns, other serious injuries, which can have fatal consequences. As you prepare for your holiday celebrations 🎇, consider attending a professional fireworks display, if possible. For those that plan to use legal, at-home fireworks, follow these safety tips: ✅ Make sure only adults are handling fireworks. Children 🔞 should never be allowed to play with fireworks, even sparklers. ✅ Ensure you have a hose, bucket of water, or fire extinguisher 💧🧯 on hand in case of fire. ✅ Only light one firework at a time, and keep your distance once it is lit. ✅ Never 🚫 use fireworks while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or otherwise impaired. Stay safe this Independence Day! #safety #fireworksafety #FourthofJuly #IndependenceDay #holidaysafety https://lnkd.in/esaNpiVN
