🎆 Don't blow it this Fourth of July—leave the fireworks to the professionals and plan to attend the Town's fireworks show! 🎆

The best way to stay safe is to attend public fireworks displays put on by trained professionals and avoid the use of consumer fireworks, which can cause serious injury, burns, and damage due to their unpredictability. 🤕

🎆 Make plans to watch the town's annual fireworks show: Tuesday, July 4th at 9:15 p.m. at Avalon Pier, 2111 North Virginia Dare Trail (Milepost 6)

The ONLY type of consumer fireworks that are LEGAL in KDH are caps, snakes and glow worms, smoke devices, trick noise-makers, sparklers and other sparkling devices, such as fountains.

If you do decide to use legal consumer fireworks in an area where the use of these devices is permitted, here are a few tips to keep you safe:

🚫 Don't allow children to play with or light the devices.
🎆 Light only one device at a time and quickly move away to enjoy the show.
🤕 Never place any part of your body overtop the device.
💦 Have a bucket of water or water hose readily available where you are lighting the fireworks in case a fire starts.
🚒 Do not attempt to relight a device that does not ignite and properly fire. Instead, soak it in water before properly disposing of it.
💧 Thoroughly soak all devices prior to disposing of them.

Not only better weather the last few days, but better fishing! Joe landed and released this blue around 9:30 pm tonight throwing a trout jig near the surf.
