the people wanting to make sure to be safe this 4th of July.
Some of these recommendations include lighting fireworks outdoors
in a clear area away from houses, dry leaves or grass and flammable
materials, keeping a bucket of water nearby for emergencies
and for pouring on fireworks that don't go off, and not trying
to relight or handle malfunctioning fireworks, but rather dousing
and soaking them with water and throwing them away. The Fort
