ring in 2022 safely
12/27/2021
as holiday lights are replaced with firework displays, remember to celebrate the new year safely. a trip to the emergency room is the last way you want to start 2022.
the easiest and safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public display conducted by trained professionals. however, if you decide to put on your own show, follow these safety tips:
- confirm that fireworks are legal in your area and that no burn bans are in effect before buying or using fireworks.
- buy fireworks from reputable dealers, and store them in a cool, dry place.
- know your fireworks. read the cautionary labels and performance descriptions before igniting.
- before setting off fireworks, make sure you’re in a wide-open outdoor area, staying clear of utility lines, vehicles and trees.
- keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fire.
- light fireworks one at a time, then move back quickly.
- never try to re-light or pick up fireworks that don’t fully ignite. wait 20 minutes, then soak them in a bucket of water before disposal.
- never allow children to play with or ignite fireworks.
- remember, sparklers burn at temperatures up to 2,000 degrees – hot enough to melt some metals, and definitely hot enough to cause a third-degree burn.
- bring your pets inside. loud noises and bright lights are frightening.
- use television or radio sounds to mute loud noises indoors. this will help pets stay calm and comforted.
