🎆 FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND SAFETY REMINDER FROM THE WEAVER POLICE DEPARTMENT 🇺🇸
As we celebrate Independence Day with family, friends, and fireworks, the Weaver Police Department would like to remind everyone to make safety a priority so everyone can enjoy a fun and memorable holiday.
🎇 Fireworks Safety
Only use fireworks that are legal in Alabama and follow all manufacturer instructions.
Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby in case of fire.
Never allow young children to handle or ignite fireworks.
Never relight a firework that fails to ignite.
Light one firework at a time and move away quickly.
🔥 Fire Danger
With hot temperatures and dry conditions, even a small spark can quickly become a fire.
Never shoot fireworks near dry grass, wooded areas, or structures.
Dispose of used fireworks by soaking them in water before placing them in the trash.
If you notice a fire, call 911 (tel:911) immediately.
🐾 Remember Your Pets
Fireworks can be frightening for our four-legged family members.
Keep pets indoors in a secure, comfortable place.
Make sure they have identification tags or are microchipped in case they become frightened and escape.
Close windows and curtains, and consider using a TV, fan, or music to help mask loud noises.
Never bring pets to areas where fireworks are being used.
❤️ Respect Your Neighbors
Everyone celebrates differently.
Be mindful of your neighbors, especially veterans, young children, older adults, and individuals with sensory sensitivities.
Celebrate responsibly and avoid setting off fireworks late into the night.
Clean up any debris left behind to help keep our community beautiful.
🚔 Celebrate Responsibly
If your plans include alcohol, please designate a sober driver, use a rideshare service, or make arrangements to stay where you are. Never drive impaired.
Let’s work together to make this Independence Day safe, respectful, and enjoyable for everyone in our community.
🇺🇸 From all of us at the Weaver Police Department, we wish you and your family a safe and happy Fourth of July! Stay safe, celebrate responsibly, and if you see an emergency, don’t hesitate to call 911
