With extremely Fourth of July around the corner and hot temperatures expected in the coming week, the Hollister Fire Department issued the following tips for residents:
• Drink plenty of water.
• Use only fireworks that have the Safe & Sane label.
• Do not modify fireworks in any manner.
• Light and back away – never hold fireworks (except sparklers).
• Do not use fireworks near areas of dry grass/debris.
• If you will be consuming alcohol – plan ahead who will be the sober one in charge of lighting the fireworks.
• Place fireworks in a waiting bucket of water after use.
• Watch for traffic if children are playing in street.
