Jail Time for Fireworks!

2008-07-03T22:05:35Z

I read this headline today on the NBC13 website for an article "Fireworks Safety Jail Time and Fines"

Of course it got my attention, (like I am sure it did yours!) and what I found was a reminder and call to safety on this Fourth of July weekend.

Here in Alabama, as with many part of the United States, drought-like conditions have reared their ugly head at some points in time over the past dew years. With this in mind, they were reminding us to leave the fireworks to the professionals.

As for the jail time and fines, before you decide to shoot off your fireworks this year, be sure to check with your local municipalities and see if fireworks are allowed. Some areas will fine or even throw you in jail for violating these terms.

These issues also got me thinking (since I have a couple of kids!) about firework safety. I searched and found the found the National Council of Firework Safety website which had an interesting an interesting video on the subject of firework safety as well as some helpful safety tips, such as...

Only use fireworks outdoors
Make sure you have access to water
Never try to re-light a "dud" firework

These are only a few of the safety tips they gave. You can get the rest of the Firework Safety Tips here.

I also found this video here below. This IS NOT the video listed above, but is also a good resource.
