Although we typically view fireworks in July, June is actually fireworks safety month. On a typical Fourth of July, fireworks account for two of five of all reported fires. As Independence Day approaches, it's important to keep in mind some fireworks safety tips, including never lighting fireworks indoors, never relighting a "dud" firework, and keeping a bucket of water nearby to extinguish them. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, approximately 12,900 injuries were treated at U.S. emergency rooms in 2017, with more than two-thirds of those injuries occurring 1 month around the July 4th holiday. Injuries and incidents can be reported to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission by calling (800) 638-2772 or filing a report on their website at http://www.cpsc.gov/.
