Unfortunately, a lot of fires are started and people are injured during the 4th of July celebration. I know about this firsthand after suffering a painful burn on my arm during a fireworks event when I was a kid.
Now, I only watch fireworks displays that are conducted by experts with assistance fromthe fire department.
Never light matches or fireworks without your parents. Keep a hose nearby for safety & spray water on the area after the fireworks.
Some areas prohibit all fireworks due to the increased risk of fires and danger to homes.Report people that use illegal fireworks to protect yourself and others.
Kids have lost fingers, been burned, caused permanent damage to their eyes or burned down homes, fields buildings from using fireworks improperly.
