Fireworks can be a fun way to celebrate, but it's important to handle them with care. Always follow local laws, keep a safe distance, and have water nearby in case of emergencies. Enjoy the show responsibly and help keep your community safe.

If you’re heading to the beach, always swim near a lifeguard and know how to spot rip currents. If caught in one, don’t panic — swim parallel to the shore until you’re out of the current, then head back in. Stay safe and enjoy the water responsibly! #SafetyStartsNow
