With millions of Americans celebrating July 4th this weekend, there are a few safety tips you should keep in mind:
Grilling:
- Never use a grill indoors.
- Move the grill at least 10 feet away from your house or any building.
For more tips, go to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website.
Fireworks
:
- Never try to re-light a “dud” firework. You should wait 20 minutes and then soak it in bucket full of water.
- Always have water handy.
- Alcohol and fireworks don’t mix. Make sure you have a “designated shooter” for your fireworks celebration.
For more fireworks safety tips, visit the National Council on Fireworks Safety website.
Everyone at NBC13 HD hopes you and your family have a safe and happy holiday weekend.
