 Have you bought your piccolo peats? What about your family packs? Remember, before you do that, nearly 70% of firework related injuries occur within a month of the 4th of July. It's easy to get lost in the beauty and pageantry of fireworks, but they can also be dangerous to your health and a potential fire hazard to your property. All legal fireworks must have the state fire marshal seal on it. If it goes up any of the air or explodes, it's clearly illegal. Nearly 700 people are injured by fireworks on the 4th of July alone. And don't forget about your pets. They need special care as well. The number one thing we encourage is to make sure your pet is microchipped, because if they do get out, we can reunite you with them immediately. One of the biggest mistakes is not disposing of fireworks correctly. Never put hot fireworks in the garbage. From all of us here at CaloES, have a safe 4th of July.
