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.

SUMMARY: A new COVID-19 variant called NB.1.81, also known as the Nimbus strain, is spreading across the United States, accounting for about one-third of circulating cases according to the CDC. This strain causes familiar symptoms and a new one called “razor blade sore throat.” Dr. Kristi Trim advises those with fever and symptoms to isolate until fever-free for 24 hours and symptoms improve. People exposed should watch for symptoms and avoid large gatherings. With summer heat, staying hydrated is important. The World Health Organization is monitoring the situation, but hospitalizations have not increased significantly.
