๐บ๐ธCelebrate Safely This Fourth of July! ๐บ๐ธ
๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ From all of us at the South Lebanon Fire Department, have a safe and happy Fourth of July, and Happy 250th Birthday, America! ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
Just a reminder from yesterdays post:
This year, our area is experiencing drought conditions, which means fireworks, campfires, and other open flames pose an increased risk of brush and grass fires. Even a single spark can quickly spread and threaten homes, businesses, and our community.
This year, we encourage everyone to attend a professional fireworks display, such as the celebration at the Lebanon Expo.
Attack 48 will be on standby at the fireworks display, assisting our partners at Neversink Fire Company, ensuring a safe experience for all.
If you choose to use consumer fireworks, please remember:
๐ Follow all Pennsylvania fireworks laws and local ordinances.
๐ Fireworks may only be set off at least 150โ from an occupied structure. This makes fireworks illegal in most residential areas of the township.
๐ Only use fireworks in a safe, open area away from homes, vehicles, dry grass, trees, and other combustible materials.
๐ Never allow young children to handle fireworks.
๐ Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby.
๐ Never attempt to relight a firework that fails to ignite.
๐ Soak all used fireworks thoroughly, overnight, with water before placing them in the trash.
๐ Never use fireworks while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Let's all do our part to protect our neighbors, our first responders, and our community while celebrating the freedoms we enjoy.
In case of an emergency, always call 9-1-1.
