🎆 Firework Safety & Cleanup Tips for Our Community 🎆 Let’s celebrate responsibly and keep Lakin safe, clean, and neighbor-friendly this 4th of July! ✨ 🔥 Firework Safety Tips ✅ Soak Before You Toss – Fully douse used fireworks with water before disposing of them. Fireworks can reignite hours later. 🚫 Don’t Relight Duds – Wait at least 20 minutes, then soak them in water before discarding. 🎇 Keep a Water Source Nearby – Always have a bucket of water or a hose ready in case of emergencies. 👀 Supervise Children – Fireworks should only be handled by responsible adults. Sparklers can reach 1,200°F – hot enough to cause serious burns! 🚒 Respect Burn Bans or Local Restrictions – Always check for local fire safety notices and burn bans before lighting anything. 🧼 Cleanup Reminders 🧹 Pick Up All Trash – Please collect firework debris, wrappers, and packaging. 🚫 Don’t Leave Debris in Streets or Gutters – It can clog drains, harm wildlife, and create hazards for others. ♻️ Dispose Responsibly – After soaking, place fireworks in a metal trash can away from any buildings or combustible materials. 💡 Be a Good Neighbor 🕰 Stick to Reasonable Hours – Light fireworks at appropriate times to be courteous to neighbors, kids, veterans, and pets. 🐾 Watch for Pets – Fireworks can scare animals—keep them indoors and secure.
