We celebrate out nation’s independence tomorrow. That often means shooting off fireworks. A couple of safety reminders for you. Never allow young children to light fireworks and if you do have kids around fireworks make sure they have adult supervision. Never light fireworks inside and never shoot them at another person. Never try to relight a firework that didn’t work. Remember to bring your pets inside tomorrow night if fireworks are set off in your area. The 4th of July is a day when a lot of pets, especially dogs go missing. Have a safe and happy 4th of July.
