If you're celebrating America250 with fireworks tonight, make sure to celebrate safely! Never hold a lit firework. Never launch fireworks off your body. Never try to relight a dud.

Even legal fireworks can malfunction, use care and pay attention at all times.

Great video

Never light them within 3 miles of a pet owner or someone who needs to sleep or has PTSD. Just say no.

And don't give fireworks to your kids like they are toys bsky.app/profile/13ab...

More videos of mannequins getting exploded, please.

Instructions unclear, now there is a tough choice to be made.

Silly "trustworthy" world · Jul 4

as firedepartmentchronicles put it, "have fun, AND DONT BE DUMB!!!! happy fourth of July! :)"

@handlestohandless.bsky.social · Jul 4

More clips of mannequins with red hats blowing up please... I believe they're the ones to feel more like explosive experts, on account of something they saw on the Internet, and all the inbred alcoholism

I'll bet that you are opposed to Hollywood sequels, too!

Don't shoot off hundreds of thousands of pounds of fireworks in a dense municipality suffering through a historic heatwave because the boss wants to be a big man

Too many idiots are looking at this and thinking 🤔 “Cool- I never thought of that!!”

G! · Jul 4

And if you live in Colorado or anywhere else dry: I'm begging you to consider... not doing fireworks. I know, and I'm sorry, but I've had a headache for 3 days straight from wildfire smoke and people are worried about their pets dying from the poor air quality. 💀

Can I put roman candles up my butt and then wave my ass around? My buddy said it would look cool and he would liight them for me.

Fireworks are bad for animals and bad for the planet. I am totally against them.

SoloSojourner · Jul 4

If you’re MAGA, do whatever makes you feel most patriotic, and setting yourself on fire is not off the table. You be you. #America250

Dan · Jul 4

Never throw the seemingly spent casings of Roman candles onto the bonfire to clean up end up the night either.

@superduper004.bsky.social · Jul 4

Just don't use fireworks at all. They terrorize pets, wildlife and trigger PTSD in humans.

@chriswmartin1986.bsky.social · Jul 4

Nooooo! My mannequins!

@biliousmillie.bsky.social · Jul 4

You made that look fun, ffs.

Don't ingest fireworks or you'll explode like Alex Jones.
