Tips for the 4th

Please treat fireworks with respect, read all of the cautions and warnings and use common sense. Lighting fireworks indoors, throwing them from automobiles and lighting multiple devices at the same time can lead to accidents and are not how fireworks are intended to be used
A few reminders for you this Season...
-Use fireworks and sparklers only outdoors.
-Only persons over 12 years of age should handle sparklers of any type. Too many young people get burned by sparklers every year. By keeping sparkers out of youngsters, we can reduce these injury rates.
-Obey local laws. If fireworks are not legal where you are, don’t use them. If drought conditions mean a ban on fireworks, follow the law.
-Only use fireworks as intended. Don’t try to alter them or combine them.
-Fireworks and alcohol do not mix. Have a designated "shooter"
-When all else fails, use common sense. Respect fireworks and sparklers as the great American tradition they are, but also respect the fact that the must be used with caution.
-Driving somewhere for the 4th? Follow the speed limit – improve your mileage, avoid the ticket, and spend the extra cash on bottle rockets.
Have a Safe and Happy 4th of July, and don't forget the brave men and women of our military! And remember our Veterans! Thanks to anyone who has ever served in the Armed Forces!!!!
