4th of July Safety Tips
In 2023, the Consumer Product Safety Commission reported 9,700 injuries and nine deaths related to fireworks. Many of these injuries were caused by sparklers, which burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Take the following precautions to stay safe:
§ Never allow children to ignite or play with fireworks (including sparklers).
§ Keep a bucket of water, a garden hose or a fire extinguisher handy in case of fire or other incidents.
§ Light fireworks one at a time and then move back quickly.
§ Never try to re-light or pick up fireworks that have not fully ignited.
§ Never use fireworks while impaired by alcohol or drugs.
§ After fireworks complete their burning, to prevent a trash fire, douse the spent device with plenty of water from a bucket or hose before discarding the device.
If planning a controlled burn, please call the 911 non-emergency number 1-573-221-1244 to schedule. This will avoid having the fire department dispatched to your location.
