Fireworks Safety
With summer temperatures on the rise and the sale of fireworks in full swing , Douglas County Fire District No.2 fire fighters are gearing up for an increase in activity. Each year, the District responds to more fires during the Fourth of July weekend than any other time in the year. Most of these fires occur in dry brush and grass, but some homes are also damaged during this holiday. Fires are caused by careless handling of fireworks in areas exposed to sparks or live fireworks.
The Fourth of July is also responsible for many burn injuries associated with premature detonation or misuse of fireworks. Most fireworks burn injuries involve children. These are usually burns to their hands, eyes and feet. Because many of these injuries are not treated in emergency rooms, it is hard to determine the total number of fireworks injuries that occur during this holiday.
To keep you and your family safe from fire, injuries, and/or penalties, remember the following:
