Safety Tips for this Fourth of July

With all of parties, parades, and barbecues that will be going on during the 4th of July, it’s important to remember a few tips and tricks to keep your loved ones safe, cool, and happy!

July is one of the hottest months of the year, and the 4th is no exception. Staying hydrated with water or electrolyte filled Gatorade will help keep everyone cool and ready to survive the summer heat. Schedule professional ac repairs or tune-ups to prepare your ac units which are essential to keep your home comfortable throughout the summer.

On the subject of heat, when it comes to fireworks and kids, never let them play with matches or fireworks. If they’re using sparklers this fourth, make sure they’re supervised and know to keep them away from their face and clothing. If you’re setting off your own fire works, or even have a barbecue going, always have a hose on hand in-case things get out of control. In addition, having a fire alarm system installation at home is highly recommended. Make sure as well to order fireworks from a legit wholesale fireworks distributor.

Don’t forget about your pets either. They have sensitive ears, and dogs especially are terrified of fireworks. Keep your pets inside to minimize the amount of noise that they’ll hear, and ensure that they won’t be able to run off if they become frightened during the fireworks.

And last but not least, one of the most overlooked safety tips for the fourth of July, is to remember to keep hard candy and hazardous decorations away from children and pets. Little ones can easily choke on small decorations and age inappropriate candy.

Whatever your plans are for this 4th, have a wonderful day celebrating our nation’s independence!
