Reminder: Practice Fireworks Safety this Fourth of July!   As we approach the Fourth of July, let’s remember that celebrating with fireworks comes with responsibility. Fireworks are a popular and exciting part of Fourth of July and summer overall. While they are legal, they are also very dangerous. Thousands of people – mostly children and young adults – are injured each year from fireworks-related incidents. As you celebrate Independence Day and other summer festivities, Norwood Hospital wants to remind you to practice safety and caution when it comes to fireworks.
