Independence Day Safety Tips
|
 On Monday, July 4th, thousands of Americans will celebrate America's Birthday. The celebration will include festivals, parades, cookouts, lots of other fun activities, and of course fireworks. We love to attend fireworks events and "ooh and ahh" at the beauty of the display. However, fireworks are not safe in the hands of consumers and can cause serious injury if not used properly. Our NECA/IBEW Safety Committee urges all of us to be safe, and has provided some helpful hints. Please see the attached and enjoy your 4th of July celebration safely. |
