CONNECT WITH US! @CYFAIRFD . #CYFAIRFD • Don’t give duds a second chance. If a firework malfunctions, don’t attempt to relight it. • Stay away from sparklers. They burn at over 2,000 degrees and are a leading cause of injuries for kids. Consider glow sticks instead. Be careful and take these steps: • Light them on a flat, hard outdoor surface. Be aware of where they are pointed: never at buildings, people, or dry grass and brush. • Be ready to extinguish sparks. Have a hose, bucket of water, or fire extinguisher nearby. • Sweep up residue. It is toxic! Keep kids and pets away. Soak fireworks in water overnight to ensure they are extinguished.
