Happy Independence Day🇺🇸 Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday. It is Independence Day and SSVEC's top priority over the holiday is safety. Remember, using fireworks near power lines could lead to a fire, explosion, power outage or downed line. To help keep you, your loved ones, and your community safe while celebrating, ask yourself these safety questions: > Is there a power line nearby? Only use fireworks in an open space where no power lines can be seen. Fireworks can cause power lines to catch fire. > Is there a big green box nearby? Pad-mounted electrical equipment carries high voltages of electricity. Never touch, sit, or place objects on these green utility boxes. Do not use fireworks on or near pad-mounted electrical equipment. > Is there a downed-power line? If you see a downed-power line stay far away and immediately call 911 and your local SSVEC office. Do not touch any part of the pole or any object that may be in contact with the pole or wires. Do not drive over a fallen power line. Additional fireworks safety tips from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission: > Never allow children to ignite fireworks. Never give children fireworks or sparklers. Sparklers burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit—hot enough to melt some metals. > Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy, in case of fire. > Keep spectators at least 20 feet away and upwind from where the fireworks will be set off. > Light fireworks one at a time, then move quickly away from the fireworks device. > Never try to relight or handle malfunctioning fireworks. Soak them with water and throw them away. > Never point or throw fireworks (including sparklers) at anyone. > Put used fireworks in a bucket of water before disposing to ensure there are no hidden embers that could ignite a fire. Take extra precaution and don’t use fireworks near vegetation. *****SSVEC offices will be closed for Independence Day.***** #SSVEC #SSVECAZ #SSVECsafety
