    Do you know safe conditions for having a recreational fire? Always check weather conditions before lighting any outdoor fire. Wind can spread flames quickly. #OutdoorFireSafety

    Sparklers may look harmless, but they can burn at temperatures hot enough to cause serious injuries. Keep sparklers out of young children's hands and provide close adult supervision for older children. #FireworksSafety #CelebrateSafely
