Fourth of July is right around the corner, and we at All Star Automotive want to wish everyone a safe and fun-filled celebration! This time of year is always a happy occasion for our country as we cookout and light off fireworks as a symbol of our independence. During Fourth of July celebrations, safety is a top priority because fireworks are almost always the main attraction. To help keep you and your loved ones safe, we’ve put together a list of firework safety tips. Happy Fourth of July!

• Attend public fireworks displays that are handled by professionals
• If you use your own fireworks, make sure they are legal in your area
• Closely supervise children around fireworks at all times
• Hold sparklers for young children
• Do not wear loose clothing while using fireworks
• Never light fireworks indoors
• Never light fireworks near dry grass, brush or flammable debris
• Point fireworks away from buildings and homes
• Stand several feet away from lit fireworks
• If a firework does not go off, do not stand over it to investigate it- put it out with water and dispose of it
• Always have a bucket of water and/or a fire extinguisher nearby
• Always read the instructions carefully before attempting to light a fireworks item
• Do not consumer alcoholic beverages if you are operating fireworks
• Keep fireworks dry- never attempt to light wet fireworks
• Do not buy generic fireworks that do not have labels identifying the manufacturer- all consumer fireworks should be clearly labeled as “Class C” or “1.4G” fireworks
• When using fireworks that utilize mortar tubes, be sure the device is securely mounted or secured in a way that prevents it from tipping over once it is lit
• Keep a first aid kit nearby for treatment of burns- if you are burned in any area above the shoulders, seek medical attention immediately
• Always clean your area of debris after you finish using fireworks
