We wish you a happy and safe 4th of July!

This weekend we celebrate the Independence day of our great nation. On this special day, we celebrate with cookouts, delicious food, and beautiful firework displays. Though in many counties and cities of the state of Maryland, fireworks are prohibited. If fireworks are permitted in your jurisdiction, and you are planning on part-taking in this tradition, please read the following safety precautions.

• Light fireworks one at a time
• Keep a hose or bucket of water nearby
• Do not point fireworks at anybody
• Never light fireworks indoors
• Do not allow children to handle fireworks without adult supervision
• Do not ignite fireworks in a container
• Do not attempt to light a malfunctioning firework

We hope that you've found these tips helpful. We wish you a happy and safe 4th of July.
