are Fun… but can be dangerous.
Fireworks are a quintessential part of any 4th of July celebration! Are you Idaho if you don’t love the 4th of July? It is normal to purchase and set off fireworks every year, but it is very easy to forget that they are basically small explosives.
Even store-bought fireworks can be extremely dangerous and should be treated with caution. Every year, thousands of people are injured by fireworks, especially on the 4th of July. The best way to avoid being injured by fireworks is to leave the lighting to the people with the most experience. Kids may want to light fireworks, but you should never let a child light a firework themselves.
When lighting any fireworks, be sure to read the instructions on each firework before lighting, keep a bucket of water or hose nearby in case of fires, and never try to relight a “dud” firework. Wait 20 minutes before picking it up, and then soak it in a bucket of water.
