Woodbury Public Safety Issues Fireworks Safety Guidelines
Woodbury Public Safety released safety guidelines for residents planning to use fireworks, emphasizing proper locations and supervision requirements.
According to the department, fireworks should only be used in private, open areas away from structures or flammable materials. The guidelines specifically prohibit firework use in parks or public areas such as beaches.
Safety requirements include having an adult supervise all firework activities and keeping a water bucket or fire extinguisher nearby. The department recommends using an extended lighter to ignite fireworks from a distance, then moving away quickly after lighting.
For malfunctioning fireworks that fail to ignite, residents should not attempt to relight them. Instead, the department advises soaking the firework in water for 20 minutes to ensure it is completely extinguished and no longer poses a safety hazard.
The department also reminded residents to be considerate of neighbors who may not enjoy the loud noises produced by fireworks, emphasizing that respect should accompany firework use this season.
