## Caption

Please, please, please be careful around fireworks this #July4th.

They may be fun, but fireworks can cause serious injuries — and even wildfires — if not handled properly.

The USCPSC reported that more than 14,000 people were treated in emergency rooms for fireworks-related injuries last year. That includes 1,700 treated injuries from playing with sparklers alone.

As you celebrate with loved ones this weekend, keep fireworks away from:
• Children and pets
• Dry grass or leaves
• Flammable items or structures

Share this to your stories to help raise awareness and keep your friends safe.
