Fourth of July Firework Safety on Your High End Real Estate

We know what you’re up to this time of year. While you’re throwing a Fourth of July barbecue on your luxury real estate lot, you may be inclined to set off a few fireworks. As long as they aren’t illegal, we at MacDonald Highlands want you to have as much fun as possible. However, make sure you do it in a safe manner.

We’ve included a few vital safety tips to keep you, your family and friends, and your luxury real estate lot safe.

5 FIREWORK SAFETY TIPS FOR YOUR REAL ESTATE LOT

READ THE FIREWORK LAWS

Fireworks are fun. Dealing with angry police officers, getting a citation and calling your attorney are not.

We’ve included the government guidelines on fireworks here.  

NO DRINKING BEFORE SETTING OFF FIREWORKS

For some adults, having a drink on the Fourth of July is as expected as throwing a barbecue. We at MacDonald Highlands would be lying if one of us said we weren’t going to have at least one glass of wine this holiday. However, if you plan on lighting fireworks on your Las Vegas luxury real estate lot, please save the libations for after.

Being under the influence of alcohol while handling an explosion can be dangerous and deadly. While this may seem obvious, we have seen otherwise.  

KEEP CHILDREN AND ANIMALS AT A SAFE DISTANCE

At MacDonald Highland, we remember being hypnotized by the beauty of fireworks as children. Nothing can compare to the terrific fizzing and whistle sounds and the melody of neon colors painting the sky and street.

But we do remember being kept a safe distance away from these beautifully dangerous, and potentially deadly, products. Please abide by firework laws and keep your children safely away from fireworks.     

As for your pets, keep your furry friends safe inside the house. Even if your pet is the most trained and tame creature this side of the Las Vegas, the sounds and flares can potentially frighten them and make them react negatively. So why take the risk?

Consult with your veterinarian for anti-anxiety medication if your animal gets too nervous around this holiday.    

HAVE A BUCKET OF WATER OR FIRE EXTINGUISHER HANDY

While we do not expect anything to go wrong on this fun holiday, it never hurts to prepare.

Make sure you and your family and friends know how to operate a fire extinguisher quickly in case of an emergency.

We’ve included a link that provides instructions and training on fire extinguishers.

PROPERLY DISPOSE OF FIREWORKS

When the firework festivities are over, take extra care to dispose properly of these products. Soak your fireworks in a bucket of water overnight and toss in a trashcan.

Clean up any ash produced by the fireworks.

HAVING A FUN FOURTH OF JULY ON YOUR LUXURY REAL ESTATE LOT

The Fourth of July can be one of the most fun holidays of the year. But we want you to be safe, as well. After all, it would be a tragedy if something bad happened to your loved ones or your unique home real estate lot.
