Summer Fire Safety Tips
The NFPA recommends attending a professional fireworks show instead of making a personal one. But if you’re planning on creating your own fireworks show this summer, make sure to set rules. Don’t let young children light fireworks — even sparklers — and supervise older children while they use fireworks. Avoid fireworks packaged in brown paper because this is often a sign that they were made for professional displays, and may be dangerous for home use.
