Happy Independence Day from the Kings County Firefighters Association!

Today we celebrate the freedoms we enjoy and the sacrifices made by those who have served and continue to serve our country. We hope you have the opportunity to spend the day with family, friends, and your community.

As you celebrate, please make safety a priority:

* Leave fireworks to the professionals whenever possible.
* Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby if using legal fireworks.
* Never use fireworks near dry grass or vegetation.
* Always supervise children around fireworks and grills.
* If you’re celebrating with alcohol, plan for a sober ride home.

A few simple precautions can help ensure everyone has a safe and memorable holiday.

From all of us at the Kings County Firefighters Association, IAFF Local 3747, we wish you a fun, safe, and Happy Fourth of July!
