🇺🇸 Get ready to light up the sky because the Fourth of July is just around the corner! 🎇 As we gear up for the festivities, let's remember to prioritize safety, especially when it comes to fireworks. Here are the top 3 safety tips to keep in mind: 1. Keep a Safe Distance: Ensure that fireworks are set off in a clear, open area away from buildings, trees, and dry grass. Maintain a safe distance from the fireworks once they're lit. 2. Supervise Children: Never allow children to handle fireworks without adult supervision. Keep curious little ones at a safe distance from the fireworks display. 3. Follow Instructions: Read and follow the instructions on fireworks packaging carefully. Use fireworks as intended and avoid altering or modifying them in any way. Let's celebrate Independence Day responsibly and safely. Together, we can enjoy a dazzling display of fireworks while keeping our community and loved ones out of harm's way. 🎆
