Fireworks Safety Month

Fireworks Safety Month


The fourth of July is a fun time for family and friends to get together and celebrate our countries independence. And no Fourth of July would be complete with out the fireworks show. This is also the safest way to enjoy fireworks at any age.

Fireworks at home can be extremely dangerous. Not only do you risk personal injury, but you could start a fire. Make sure you also check and see if using fireworks in your city is legal, you could end up paying a fine.
