As we prepare to celebrate our nation's independence, it's important to remember the importance of safety, especially when it comes to fireworks. Fireworks are a time-honored tradition on the Fourth of July, but they can also pose risks if not handled correctly. Here are some safety tips to consider: 1. Maintain a safe distance: Spectators should remain at least 500 feet away from fireworks. 2. Trust the professionals: It's recommended to attend public fireworks displays and leave the lighting to the professionals. 3. Avoid homemade fireworks: Homemade fireworks can lead to dangerous accidents. It's safer to use store-bought and legal fireworks. 4. Adhere to local laws and regulations: Ensure you're aware of and comply with all local laws and regulations regarding fireworks. At Niceville Insurance Agency we believe that safety is always the best policy. We're here to protect you, today and every day.

Leave it to the Professionals or Buy Smart: Only purchase fireworks from licensed sellers. Stick to the pros – homemade or illegal fireworks can spell disaster. 2. Know the Law: Double-check local regulations. Using fireworks responsibly means following the rules. 3. Gear Up: Safety glasses and gloves aren’t just for work. Protect yourself while handling fireworks. 4. Stay Sober: Skip the alcohol while handling fireworks. Let’s leave the drinks for after the show. 5.

Tempe Police will have extra officers on patrol this July 4 holiday. One of those reasons: curb the use of illegal fireworks. Fireworks can cause fires. They also can be stressful for veterans, Autistic people, those with asthma and many pets. Independence Day is one of the busiest days of the year for pet rescues due to panicking pets. The City of Tempe has had several complaints about people illegally using fireworks in our city. In response, the City of Tempe has adopted a zero-tolerance policy for their use. A person violating fireworks ordinances can be subject to a civil penalty of $1,000. The ordinance also allows Tempe to recoup expenses if emergency services are needed in conjunction with the illegal use of fireworks. People can report the use of illegal fireworks by calling 480-350-8311. Fireworks like Roman candles, firecrackers and bottle rockets require a special permit by Tempe Fire Medical Rescue. Just because you might see a firework for sale does not mean it's legal to use in our city. Some small fireworks are permitted, such as sparklers. See what's legal. If you aren't sure if it's legal, don't buy it or use it. If you have questions, please call the Tempe Police non-emergency number at 480-350-8311. https://lnkd.in/gssmnkPq
