Fourth of July Firework Safety with AMR
SUMMARY: Eric Phillips joined Live at Nine to discuss fireworks safety, emphasizing its importance during this holiday week. Fireworks are fun but can be dangerous if not handled properly. Phillips stressed having a clear plan, choosing a safe location away from dry grass and buildings, and having one sober person in charge. Safety measures include keeping a water source or sand nearby to extinguish fires. Common mistakes include holding fireworks or relighting duds, which should be avoided. In case of injuries, call 911 immediately and rinse burns with cool water—not home remedies like mustard. Adults must supervise children closely to ensure a safe and enjoyable celebration.
