Shooting off fireworks is a favorite way to celebrate America’s Independence Day for many, but there are plenty of precautions to take when lighting that fuse.

Fireworks are certainly festive, but many Americans underestimate their dangers.  According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, nearly 10,000 people were injured – and at least four killed – by fireworks in 2011.  While you’re celebrating the 4th of July, remember these tips:

-Always keep a hose nearby in case of any mishap.

-Don’t hold your body over a lit fuse, and be sure to back away quickly.
