Emplify Health is reminding everyone to stay safe during firework season.
While fireworks can be fun, they also come with many dangers. When not handled with caution, fireworks can cause burns, injuries to hands, and severe injuries to eyes, sometimes leading to a loss of sight.
Here are some tips to help keep you and your loved ones safe from fireworks.
First, attend a licensed, professional firework show instead of shooting them off yourself.
Next, keep a safe distance from active fireworks; getting too close can result in injuries and burns.
Also, keep all fireworks away from children; they often don’t understand the dangers of fire and can get seriously injured.
Finally, know what to do in an emergency.
If something happens, don’t wait; seek help immediately.
