4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS SAFETY
Remember to read
and follow all the directions, keep small children away from the fireworks,
never relight those that don’t work, and buy from a state-certified fireworks
distributor only.
You should also
make sure to put any used fireworks in a bucket of water before you dispose of
them.
Also, if you plan to
drink alcohol, be sure to have a designated driver. That includes if you’ll be
boating during the holiday. The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office will be
strictly enforcing DUI laws.
Have a
safe and happy 4th of July.
