Never try to re-ignite fireworks that malfunction. Keep a bucket of water handy. Never carry fireworks in your pocket. Only light fireworks on a smooth, flat surface away from the house, dry leaves and flammable materials. The Florence SAFE KIDS Coalition and McLeod Health, recommend the safest way to enjoy the dazzle of fireworks is at a community-sanctioned, licensed event.
Many communities hold fireworks displays sponsored by the fire department or other safety agencies.
Following these important guidelines can help keep your fireworks activities enjoyable and safe. Don't let dangerous sparks stand between your family and a wonderful Fourth of July celebration.
