Fireworks are the main hazards on Independence Day. In most cities, fireworks are illegal. Firefighters recommend that you celebrate the Fourth of July at a city-sponsored event, rather than playing with fireworks in your backyard. Avoid using firecrackers, M-80s, skyrockets, Roman candles and chasers. Read and follow the directions on the fireworks. Make sure an adult is present at all times. Keep a bucket of water nearby. Light fireworks outdoors only. Keep them away from homes, brush, people and anything flammable. Discard any malfunctioning fireworks. Avoid lighting more than one at a time. Once a firework is lit, move away quickly. Use only in open, safe areas.
