Have a Safe & Happy Fourth of July!

Jun 29, 2015

Fourth of July is right around the corner, and we at Buckhannon Toyota want to wish everyone a safe and fun-filled celebration! This time of year is always a happy occasion for our country as we cookout and light off fireworks as a symbol of our independence. During Fourth of July celebrations, safety is a top priority because fireworks are almost always the main attraction. To help keep you and your loved ones safe, we’ve put together a list of firework safety tips. Happy Fourth of July!

Attend public fireworks displays that are handled by professionals
If you use your own fireworks, make sure they are legal in your area
Closely supervise children around fireworks at all times
Hold sparklers for young children
Do not wear loose clothing while using fireworks
Never light fireworks indoors
Never light fireworks near dry grass, brush or flammable debris
Point fireworks away from buildings and homes
Stand several feet away from lit fireworks
If a firework does not go off, do not stand over it to investigate it- put it out with water and dispose of it
Always have a bucket of water and/or a fire extinguisher nearby
Always read the instructions carefully before attempting to light a fireworks item
Do not consumer alcoholic beverages if you are operating fireworks
Keep fireworks dry- never attempt to light wet fireworks
Do not buy generic fireworks that do not have labels identifying the manufacturer- all consumer fireworks should be clearly labeled as “Class C” or “1.4G” fireworks
When using fireworks that utilize mortar tubes, be sure the device is securely mounted or secured in a way that prevents it from tipping over once it is lit
Keep a first aid kit nearby for treatment of burns- if you are burned in any area above the shoulders, seek medical attention immediately
Always clean your area of debris after you finish using fireworks
