Fireworks are a key part of the Fourth of July holiday, and they are often magnificent spectacles. However, if you’re shooting them off, use some common sense, especially if children are around.

And whether you’re lighting fireworks, watching them or just hiding from the noise, I wish you all a happy Independence Day.
