2A Daily News – Friday, June 29, 2012 Community July 4th safety Back to School Project fundraiser Saturday people&events Fourth of July is just around the corner, meaning that the use of fireworks poses a high potential hazard for fires. With the high temperatures of the summer upon us, the vegetation is quickly drying out and the fire danger is rising. The Tehama – Glenn Unit of the California Depart- ment of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) and Tehama County Fire Department (TCFD) want to inform everyone that they need to be careful with fireworks. Severe burns, amputations, blindness, and in some cases death can be the result of 4th of July Celebrations. CAL FIRE/TCFD and the Office of the State Fire Mar- shal have the following tips: • Always read directions. • Always have an adult present. • Use fireworks outdoors only. • Never use near dry grass or other flammable materi- als. • Use only State Fire Marshal approved fireworks. There is another reason to be careful with fireworks this 4th of July; parents can be held liable for the cost of fighting any fires that their children start. Parents need to watch their children closely this holiday and report any fires immediately. Every year, across the state, children take fireworks out into fields or vacant lots and start fires. If reported quickly, firefighters can usually put the fire out when it is still small. But if the fire gets away, the costs can become expensive. Make sure you purchase only fireworks with the approved California State Fire Marshal seal. These are sold at authorized stands within California. Remember fireworks are not toys so use com- mon sense. CAL FIRE/TCFD personnel will be out patrolling this 4th of July and will be available to answer any questions the public may have in regards to fire- works and other fire safety issues. • Light one at a time. • Keep a safe distance. • Never point or throw fireworks at another person. • Never experiment with fireworks. • Have a bucket of water and a hose handy. • Never attempt to re-light or "fix" fireworks. • Do not wear loose fitting clothing. • Never carry fireworks in your pockets. • Fireworks are not toys.
