Love fireworks?
For safety’s sake, let a professional light up your Independence Day.
State Fire Marshal Orlando Hernandez said: “If you want to see great fireworks, save money, and stay safe, go to a professional show. Our office has issued more than 250 permits for Fourth of July shows, so there’s probably one nearby.”
Check your local news or social media for local Fourth of July fireworks shows.
Another caution: Most communities don’t allow you to use fireworks within city limits or during local burn bans. Check with your local fire department to see what’s allowed.
Hernandez added: “There are no safe fireworks for children.” He said some sparklers burn at nearly 2,000 degrees, as hot as a blow torch.
“Have fun,” Hernandez said, “but stay safe, Texas.”
