Fireworks can be a fun way to celebrate, but they also come with serious risks. Each year, thousands of people—many of them children—are injured due to fireworks. Keep your celebration safe and spark-free with these simple tips:

- Leave it to the pros. The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a professional display.
- Keep water nearby. Have a bucket of water or a hose ready in case of fire or malfunction.
- Supervise children at all times. Never let children handle or light fireworks—even sparklers burn hot enough to cause serious burns.
- Only light fireworks one at a time, and back up to a safe distance quickly.
- Never relight a “dud.” Wait 20 minutes and soak it in water.
- Use fireworks outdoors only in a clear area away from homes, dry grass and flammable materials.
- Don’t point or throw fireworks at people, animals, vehicles or structures.

Injuries from fireworks often involve burns to the hands, face and eyes. If an injury does occur, seek medical attention right away. Always call 911 in an emergency.

Wishing you a fun, festive and safe celebration!

High blood pressure is a silent threat—but it’s also preventable and manageable.
Nearly 1 in 2 adults in the U.S. has high blood pressure, yet many don’t even know it. Left untreated, it can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and more.

At CMH, we’re committed to helping our community take control of their health through education, screening and support. Start to take control with these steps:

- Know your numbers
- Eat heart-healthy
- Stay active
- Manage stress
- Take medications as prescribed
