The Farmers Agents with the Platinum Elite Group wish you a happy and safe holiday weekend.But don't let the festivities lead to tragedy. Keep some safety precautions in mind.
4th of July Fire Safety Tips
Severe burns, amputations, blindness, and, in some cases, death are often the results of 4th of July celebrations.

CAL FIRE’s Office of the State Fire Marshal has the following tips (while maybe obvious, they're not always followed):
Always read directions.
Always have an adult present.
Use fireworks outdoors only.
Never use near dry grass or other flammable materials.Light one at a time.
Keep a safe distance.
Never point or throw fireworks at another person.
Never experiment with fireworks.
Never attempt to re-light or “fix” fireworks.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing.
Never carry fireworks in your pockets.
Fireworks are not toys.
Use only State Fire Marshal approved fireworks.
Remember: Parents are legally liable for any damage or injuries caused by their children using fireworks.
Of course, if an area is unsafe for fireworks, any amount of caution is not enough. Only use fireworks in safe, legal areas (well away from brush, etc.). Otherwise, attend a professional fireworks show.

Anyone who starts a wildfire or structure fire will also be held liable for damages and the cost of firefighting.
Alcohol is another part of celebrating that often leads to tragedy. Even if you're careful, others are not always so thoughtful.
Whether driving on a road trip, or boating, watch out for others who are distracted, or are under the influence. Often on holidays, common sense and care goes on vacation too.
