All of us at Joffe Emergency Services wish you a **Happy 4th of July!** Remember to have fun and stay safe.

**Leave fireworks to the professionals.** Don’t set them off on your own. If a firework does explode and injure someone, the treatment is similar to a gunshot wound. Call 911 immediately. If you are in charge of a large event with fireworks, ensure that your event meets the fire code and keep crowds away from the fireworks area. Only allow professionals to set off fireworks.

**Do not fire weapons into the air.** Not only is this illegal, but bullets always land somewhere. They may injure or even kill people - including you.

**Finally - do not drink and drive.** Check locally for services that will tow your car or give you a lift for free if you’re feeling tipsy. 

If you have any questions about safety at your event, feel free to reach out. **Happy Independence Day!**
