4th of July Firework Safety Tips from Advanced Air Duct Cleaning

Nothing says “freedom” like celebrating safely! The Fourth of July is a time for family, friends, barbecues, and of course—fireworks! At Advanced Air Duct Cleaning, we love to celebrate, but we also believe in keeping safety front and center. While fireworks can be fun and festive, they can also be extremely dangerous if not handled properly. That’s why firework safety should always be a top priority during your holiday celebrations.

Disclaimer: Advanced Air Duct Cleaning does NOT condone or recommend handling fireworks unless you are a trained and licensed professional. We always encourage attending local professional firework shows instead of attempting to light them yourself.

That said, if you live in an area where consumer fireworks are legal and you choose to use them, here are some important safety tips to help keep your holiday safe and injury-free.

Firework Safety Tips:

1. Know the Law

● Always check your local and state regulations before purchasing or using fireworks. Not all fireworks are legal in all areas.

● Respect neighborhood rules, and keep in mind that some communities restrict the use of fireworks to protect people, pets, and property.

2. Choose a Safe Location

● Only set off fireworks in a clear, open space, far from homes, trees, power lines, and flammable materials.

● Keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby for emergencies or to douse used fireworks.

3. Keep Kids and Pets Away

● Never allow children to handle or ignite fireworks.

● Keep pets indoors during fireworks. The loud noises can scare animals and cause them to run away or behave unpredictably.

4. Light One at a Time

● Only light one firework at a time, and move away quickly.

● Never try to relight a “dud.” Soak it in water and safely dispose of it.

5. Don’t Point or Throw

● Never point fireworks at people, animals, vehicles, or buildings.

● Even sparklers can cause serious burns and should be used with caution—especially around children.

6.Wear Safety Gear

● Use safety glasses when lighting fireworks to protect your eyes.

● Avoid loose-fitting clothing that could catch fire.

7. Dispose of Fireworks Properly

● Soak all used fireworks in water before tossing them in the trash.

● Clean up thoroughly to keep the environment—and your yard—safe and tidy.

Better Yet, Leave It to the Pros!

The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a professional show. Not only are they more impressive, but they’re also managed by experts who are trained in safety procedures. It’s a win-win!
