Fireworks Safety Reminder:

As we get ready to celebrate the 4th of July, Highland Beach Fire Rescue reminds everyone to enjoy the holiday safely and responsibly.

Here are a few key tips to keep your celebration safe and fun:

• Fireworks that explode or fly are only legal in Florida on July 4th, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day.
• Use fireworks only outdoors, on a flat surface.
• Keep a hose or bucket of water nearby, just in case.
• Never relight a dud — soak it in water.
• Don’t use fireworks under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Always supervise children and keep them at a safe distance.

Local Ordinance Reminder: Fireworks and flame effects are not allowed inside buildings, tents, or enclosed spaces in Highland Beach. If you’re planning a display, you may need a permit. Check with Town Hall for details.
