Harrisburg Police: Firework Safety Tips

The Harrisburg Bureau of Police reminds residents to celebrate safely this Fourth of July by using only legal consumer fireworks, keeping children and spectators at a safe distance, following label directions, wearing safety glasses, and keeping water on hand. Other key reminders include not aiming or throwing fireworks, never placing any part of your body over a lit firework, lighting only one at a time, avoiding attempts to reignite duds, using fireworks only outdoors away from buildings, and protecting pets.
