Fourth of July – Part Two: Fireworks Safety
Arizona passed a law this May to legalize consumer fireworks (i.e. sparklers, rockets, etc.) The law will take effect December 1st. Until then, at-home use fireworks remain illegal in our state. Click here for the article.
The use of fireworks can lead to severe burns, scars, and horrible disfigurement that can last a lifetime. Even sparklers, which may seem relatively harmless, can reach temperatures above 1000 degrees Fahrenheit (source: American Academy of Pediatrics) Surely, you wouldn’t want that high of heat near your children’s hands and body!
We urge parents to consider the dangers of fireworks and instead choose to enjoy a fantastic display of fireworks – run by professionals! – at one of the Fourth of July celebrations across the Valley (see previous blog post.)
If you will be in a state where fireworks are legal and do choose to use consumer-use fireworks, please observe the following safety tips from the National Council of Fireworks Safety:
•Use fireworks outdoors only.
•Always have water handy (a hose or bucket).
•Only persons over the age of 12 should be allowed to handle sparklers of any type.
•Only use fireworks as intended. Don't try to alter them or combine them.
•Never relight a "dud" firework. Wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water.
•Alcohol and fireworks do not mix. Have a "designated shooter."
•Do not ever use homemade fireworks of illegal explosives: They can kill you! Report illegal explosives to the fire or police department in your community.
•Use common sense. Spectators should keep a safe distance from the shooter and the shooter should wear safety glasses.

Fourth of July– Part one: Where to catch the fireworks!
Get ready to watch some fireworks! We’ve found the best places in the Valley for you and your family to take in a beautiful night of fireworks to honor our nation’s Independence Day. Not to mention, many of these events have lots of additional fun for the whole family, such as good food, water games, live music and more!
Tempe Town Lake’s celebration is the largest display in Arizona, and if you’re a baseball fan, head out to the Surprise Stadium to take in a game before their fireworks. There are even pre-4th celebrations taking place, such as the Great American Picnic and Fireworks Spectacular at the Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa.

Celebrate Father’s Day Part 3 – It’s BBQ Time!
Splashing in the pool, good food on the grill, the company of friends and family—all reasons why we love summer! This season brings many fun days spent poolside, especially during Father’s Day and Fourth of July, which is just around the corner!
If you are hosting any BBQs and pool celebrations this summer with children in attendance, it is vital that you ensure all your guests are not only having fun, but they are kept safe.
Kidtastics, LLC offers a unique and convenient mobile lifeguard service that comes to the comfort of your own home. We offer competitive pricing and most importantly peace of mind.
Our lifeguards are certified, experienced, insured, responsible, friendly and come prepared in their lifeguard attire, along with rescue tubes and a whistle. Kidtastics’ lifeguards are trained in rescue, ready to help prevent injuries and are there to protect your swimming guests.
Please visit our site http://kidtastics.com/az-lifeguard-services.cfm for booking information.
And before you enjoy ANY poolside fun this summer—whether it is a quick afternoon swim or a festive soirée— we ask that you please learn, enforce and review these important water safety rules with your children:
-No swimming alone
-Only adults unlock the gate
-No running around the pool
-No pushing your friends in the pool or underwater.
-No jumping into shallow water
-Count 1-2-3 1, 2, 3 before jumping in, no matter what age. This will help children know they need to audibly let adults know they are about to go into the water.
