Let Freedom Ring Responsibly

Your Fourth of July may involve some big booms,

But follow these rules to prevent sending anyone to their tombs.

To purchase, possess, or use a firework, the person must be 18 years or older.

Keep this in mind before allowing these explosives in the hands of any beholder.

Things may seem more fun when you’re under the influence of alcohol or drugs,

But don’t forget these substances impair your brain to work at the pace of slugs.

Common sense should tell you not to set off fireworks near a building or vehicle,

But we are here to remind you how to be strategical.

You shall not set off fireworks near any building, structure, or vehicle within 150 feet,

Regardless of who owns them, those kinds of things simply cannot take such heat.

Needless to say, don’t discharge fireworks from the inside of any cars.

Otherwise, you will likely end up in the hospital or behind bars.

Lastly, whether it’s public or private property does not matter.

You must obtain express permission before letting the fireworks scatter.
