Tips to keep you safe when using fireworks
SUMMARY: Last year, nearly 10,000 people were sent to the emergency room, and eight died due to firework injuries on July 4th, according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. Fireworks can also start fires if not used or disposed of correctly. Always read instructions and be prepared for any situation. Planning ahead can help you react more efficiently in emergencies. A critical aspect of firework safety is having a water source available, such as a hose, bucket, or fire extinguisher, to put out fires. Additionally, wearing eye protection is recommended when handling fireworks.
