🌳 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗗𝗘𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗦 𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗣-𝗢𝗙𝗙 𝗔𝗩𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘

After speaking with Public Works Director Shane Hamant, we have established a storm debris drop-off area for residents dealing with downed limbs and other vegetative storm debris.

Beginning today through Wednesday, August 19, residents may bring storm debris to the green space at the corner of Traverse Street and Wilcow Alley, as shown on the map below.

Orange cones will be placed to clearly outline the designated drop-off area. Please keep all debris within the coned area.

This area is for tree limbs, branches, and similar storm-related vegetative debris only.

This is another way we can help residents with cleanup following the significant storm damage throughout Ludlow while our Public Works crews continue their work across the city.

Thank you to Shane and our Public Works team for getting this set up, and thank you to everyone for your patience and cooperation as we continue recovering. 💙

FIREWORKS SAFETY.

Every year, thousands of people are injured badly enough to require medical treatment after fireworks-related incidents, with many of the injuries to children and young adults. While the majority of these incidents are due to amateurs attempting to use professional-grade, homemade or other illegal fireworks or explosives, less powerful devices like small firecrackers and sparklers can also cause significant injuries.

Additionally, fireworks start more than 31,000 fires each year.

Fireworks Safety Tips: If You Choose to Use Legal Fireworks
If consumer fireworks are legal to buy where you live and you choose to use them, be sure to follow the following safety tips:

● Never allow young children to handle fireworks
● Older children should use them only under close adult supervision
● Never use fireworks while impaired by drugs or alcohol
● Anyone using fireworks or standing nearby should wear protective eyewear
● Never hold lighted fireworks in your hands
● Never light them indoors
● Only use them away from people, houses and flammable material
● Never point or throw fireworks at another person
● Only light one device at a time and maintain a safe distance after lighting
● Never ignite devices in a container
● Do not try to re-light or handle malfunctioning fireworks
● Soak both spent and unused fireworks in water for a few hours before discarding
● Keep a bucket of water nearby to fully extinguish fireworks that don't go off or in case of fire
● Never use illegal fireworks

Better yet, grab a blanket and a patch of lawn, kick back and let the experts handle the fireworks show.

Sparklers Are More Dangerous Than You Think
Every year, young children can be found along parade routes and at festivals with sparklers in hand, but sparklers are a lot more dangerous than most people think.

Sparklers burn at about 2,000 degrees – hot enough to melt some metals. Sparklers can quickly ignite clothing, and children have received severe burns from dropping sparklers on their feet. According to the National Fire Protection Association, sparklers accounted for 29% fireworks injuries for children under age 5 in 2022.

Consider using safer alternatives, such as glow sticks, confetti poppers or colored streamers.
