SUMMARY: With Fourth of July approaching, Beckley is filled with firework tents, but safety is crucial. Beckley Fire Station 1 advises setting off fireworks only in clear, open areas away from buildings, people, vehicles, and flammable materials. Always read instructions before use, understand the range and effects, and keep children away from fireworks. Never relight a dud firework; wait 10 to 20 minutes, then soak and safely dispose of it. Use long-nose lighters to avoid burns, and never hold or point fireworks unless designed to be held, like sparklers. For maximum safety, consider leaving fireworks to the professionals.

There’s no shortage of fireworks tents all over Beckley in anticipation of July 4th. If you plan to purchase any, you must know how to properly and safely handle the sparklers.

SUMMARY: A deeply divided House is poised to pass the Senate’s version of President Trump’s mega bill after GOP holdouts agreed following White House negotiations. The trillion-dollar legislation extends Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, enforces stricter Medicaid and SNAP work requirements, raises tax deduction caps, and boosts defense and immigration funding. While benefiting corporations and high-income earners, it includes historic cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, potentially harming low-income Americans and rural hospitals. The bill could add \$3.4 trillion to the deficit over ten years. Despite low public support, Republicans are pushing to meet Trump’s signing deadline, facing Democratic opposition.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has broken the “magic minute” record with his over 8 and a half hour speech on the House floor to delay a final vote on President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”
