HAPPY 4TH
OF
JULY!
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
~Lee Greenwood
The 4th of July is a day of fun celebrated by many, however, it is also one of the most dangerous days of the year. While enjoying the day with your friends and family, keep your Independence Day fun and safe by following the proper safety tips.
FIREWORK SAFETY
Fireworks are illegal in most cities. If using fireworks, remember the importance of fireworks safety. Always read all instructions properly and do not use near wooded or dry areas. Always have water available to put out any sparks or flame that may occur when using fireworks. Never point fireworks at people. Do not allow children to play with fireworks or firecrackers.
DRIVE SAFELY
More people will be on the road this independance day weekend, making for congested roads and highways. Don't forget to always wear your seat belt, and observe all posted traffic signs and speed limits. It is especially important for children to be in proper child safety seats in your car. Drivers also become distracted by fireworks and other excitement in the area. And never drink and drive! Always have a designated driver and don't let your friends drive drunk.
Be extra cautious if you must be on the road this weekend, especially at night.
Do not allow children to playing around the barbecue area. Serve and store foods at the proper temperature to avoid food poisoning. When finished with the barbecue make sure all coals are completely out before leaving the barbecue unattended. Unattended lit coals can cause a fire. And remember to drink responsibly!
Play Safely
If you are going to be spending time near or on the water, don't forget to be safe. If you will be on a boat, wear a life jacket, follow all boating rules, and don't operate a boat while drinking. If you will be swimming, remember to swim with a buddy, swim only in safe water, and never dive into shallow water. All children should be supervised at all times around any type of water. If you will be spending any time in the sun, don't forget to use sunscreen and wear a hat.
BY ALL MEANS, HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY
INDEPENDANCE DAY
WEEKEND!
Have a happy 4th of July
