Nothing says "Happy 4th of July" like orchestrating a stellar fireworks display in your backyard! Families all over the Lake Area (and everywhere else in the country) will light off hundreds of thousands of fireworks on the 4th of July. Fireworks a lot of fun and a great way to celebrate our nation's independence, but they can also be very dangerous if used irresponsibly.

If you're planning to host one of these displays for your family and friends, it's important to make sure you're taking the proper safety precautions. The team at Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate is here to help you keep your family safe with these simple but critical fireworks safety tips.

2. Never attempt relight fireworks that did not go off.

3. Don't pick up fireworks that did not go off.

4. Keep your pets indoors while lighting fireworks outside.

5. Keep a garden hose or a bucket of water nearby in case you need to extinguish any flames.

6. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing while lighting fireworks - it may get in the way.
