Celebrate July Fourth safely The Fourth of July is fast ap proaching. To celebrate safely with fireworks this holiday, follow these safety tips: When you head for the back- country, leave the fireworks at home. They are not allowed on any U.S. Forest Service land. Purchase only legal fireworks from licensed dealers. Always read and follow the directions. Have an adult present. Proper supervision can prevent dangerous mishandling. Keep everyone at a safe distance after each firework is lit. Don’t use near dry grass or other flammable materials. Have your “ B-4” bucket (before you start, fill a bucket full of water and place it nearby), for emergencies and for dousing misfired and spent fireworks. Dispose of fireworks properly. Avoid relighting if they fail to work. ' flBBB B B BB B P Q Q O Q O Q Q Q C W B G O B O B B Q G B B O O O O O O O C 000000000 Court Street Market 111 N.
