Fireworks Safety

Enjoy fireworks at public displays conducted by professionals for a fun and safe July 4th!

Summertime and the Fourth of July means fireworks. To quote the National Safety Council, fireworks should be enjoyed at public displays conducted by professionals and should not be used at home. Although fireworks are legal, that does not mean that they are safe. And while we, SERVPRO of North Kanawha and Teays Valley, would take care of your home if a fireworks accident did occur leaving fire damage to your property, we would rather you and your family be safe. 

IF you choose to use fireworks this Fourth of July, follow these safety tips to ensure that you and your community stay safe this holiday:

-Never hold a lit firework in your hand

-Never light fireworks inside

-Only use fireworks in an area clear of houses, vehicles and trees

-Keep a bucket of water nearby to extinguish any fires that may occur and to put out lit fireworks that do not go off

-Never re-light a firework that does not go off

Of course, if things don’t go to plan and your house gets hit by a rogue firework, give us a call. We’re available every day, 24/7, even on holidays such as the 4th!
