July 4th
(Independence Day) is sneaking up on us. It's important to remember to play it
safe when it comes to fireworks. Fireworks are exciting to watch but they can
be extremely dangerous to touch and play with. Each year, fireworks injure thousands
of kids. Here are some fireworks safety tips to remember when you are getting
ready to celebrate Independence Day.
Sparky's
Fireworks Safety Tips
- Fireworks
are not toys.
- Always
leave fireworks to trained professionals. That means sparklers too, which can
get as hot as 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. (Wow, that's hot!)
- Attend
only public fireworks displays put on by trained professionals and stay back at
least 500 feet from the display. (Besides being the safer way to see fireworks,
public fireworks displays are more spectacular than anything you'll see at home.)
- If you
or your friends find fireworks, don't pick them up; tell a grown-up right away.
