Nothing says Independence Day like a sky full of fireworks—but this year’s dry conditions across much of North Carolina make fire safety more important than ever. Before you celebrate, keep these reminders in mind:
- 🔥 Sparklers burn at over 1,200°F—hot enough to melt glass.
- 🌾 Dry grass and vegetation can allow even a small spark to spread quickly.
- 🧯 Keep a bucket of water, garden hose, or fire extinguisher nearby.
- 👀 Always supervise children using sparklers.
- 🚫 Never re-light a “dud” firework. Wait several minutes, then soak it thoroughly before disposing of it.
- 📍 Check for any local burn bans or fireworks restrictions before celebrating.
Holiday Insurance Reminder
The Fourth of July is also a great time to review your homeowners or renters insurance—especially if you’ve recently made improvements to your home or have questions about your current policy. Our licensed team is happy to review your policy and discuss insurance options that fit your needs.
