Never place your face or any other body part over fireworks. Keep water handy to douse fireworks. Never carry fireworks in your pocket. Ignite fireworks only on a smooth, flat surface away from the house, dry leaves and flammable materials. The Montgomery Area SAFE KIDS Coalition recommends that the safest way to enjoy the dazzle of fireworks is at a community-sanctioned, licensed event.
Many communities hold fireworks displays sponsored by fire departments or other safety agencies.
Following these important guidelines can help keep your fireworks activities enjoyable and safe. Don't let dangerous fireworks stand between your family and a wonderful Fourth of July celebration.
