Fireworks shops across the state open today, signaling that Independence Day is right around the corner. The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker wants to wish everyone a happy, but extremely safe and legal Fourth of July weekend. California law enforcement seizes up to 20 tons of illegal fireworks every year. In the United States, fireworks account for nearly 10,000 injuries yearly. And legally, if they’re your fireworks, they’re your liability.
The California fire marshal’s office has posted some helpful safety tips here. Legal fireworks in the state of California carry an official state fire marshal seal, helping consumers determine which fireworks are legal and which ones are not. Fireworks will be on sale through Tuesday, July 6th.
From all of us at The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker, please celebrate Independence Day responsibly. Follow fireworks safety guidelines, don’t drink and drive, and buckle up.
