Officials stress safety first for the holiday Everyone wants to enjoy the holiday, and it’s important to pay attention to safety rules. By BOB GIBBINSPress Staff Writer Some fireworks are to be put in tubes to be detonated. Hammons said people shouldn’t put them in a larger or smaller tube than suggested.
If you are burned by a firecracker, he said you should run cool water on it and have an adult look at it to determine whether it warrants medical attention. Hammons said it’s a good idea to designate someone to call 911 before trying to extinguish a fire started by fireworks. The fire chief said TFD receives a fairly low number of calls related to fireworks. Hammons also has another suggestion that adults refrain from consuming alcohol while igniting fireworks. “Alcohol and fireworks don’t mix,” he said. “People need to separate them somehow.” Hammons said following an old standard is good to follow when igniting fireworks. “Read the directions before you try to set anything off,” he said. If you still have questions, call the fire department at 456-2424.
