Celebrating the Fourth

Fireworks can add some zing to July 4th festivities. They also can turn a joyful celebration into a painful memory if someone is injured. Heed these safety reminders:

-- Light fireworks outdoors in a clear area away from houses, dry leaves or grass and flammable materials.
-- Never allow children to play with fireworks.
-- Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby for emergencies.
-- Do not try to relight or handle malfunctioning fireworks. Soak them with water and throw them away.
-- Observe local laws regarding use of fireworks.
