Finally, some advice on fireworks.
Common ones include cones, fountains
and sparklers. Buy fireworks from reliable sellers. Never give them to young
kids. Don’t point fireworks at
anyone or fire from metal or glass containers.
Illegal devices include M80s, M100s
and silver salutes because they have dangerous amounts of explosives. Illegal
fireworks usually are unlabeled.

issues?

Hue
Cue – What to do near Red and Blue
Watching out for other drivers is
challenge enough.
Imagine doing it while answering a
call for help or rushing someone to the hospital.
Pull to the right edge of the road and stop as
soon as possible when you hear a siren or see emergency lights. Don’t wait for
the police car, fire truck or ambulance to reach you.
Remain stopped until the emergency
vehicle passes unless a police or traffic officer signals you
Be especially careful when driving past an emergency
vehicle that is parked near the edge of the road with lights flashing.
Unless directed to do otherwise, pull
into the innermost lane. If it’s only a 2-lane street, slow down to pass
safely around the patrol car, fire truck or ambulance.
For everyone’s safety, it’s
important to know what to do around emergency vehicles.

Consider water efficient tools such as drip irrigation systems, Treegator bags
