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.
