The Georgetown, Texas Police Department advises residents that fireworks are not allowed within city limits, except for sparklers, smoke bombs, and snakes. They offer safety tips for celebrating July Fourth:

1. Children should not use fireworks unsupervised.

2. Alcohol and fireworks do not mix well.

3. Always follow the instructions on the firework.

4. Avoid using fireworks near flammable materials like dry grass.

5. Do not aim fireworks at houses or people.

6. Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby for emergencies.

7. Consider using safer alternatives to sparklers, like glow sticks, confetti poppers, or colored streamers. Sparklers can burn as hot as 2,000 degrees and are a common cause of firework-related injuries, especially among young children.

Following these guidelines can help ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday for everyone. #HolidaySafety #PrepareGTX
