Fireworks Safety

Personal fireworks can be fun, but they can also be dangerous. Be sure to keep children and animals away from fireworks to avoid injury. Never shoot fireworks near anything that can easily burn such as trees, homes, fences and dry grass. And, keep water or a fire extinguisher nearby in case of a small fire. After using fireworks, place the spent fireworks into a bucket of water, outside the garage, for at least 24 hours before putting them into your trash.
