Firework dos and don’ts

Stay safe and have fun this Canada Day

 

The long weekend is almost here! Canada Day is one of only two days each year you can light fireworks in Vaughan without a permit. But do you know how to handle them safely? If you plan to use fireworks on Saturday, July 1, there are some important safety steps to follow before, during and after you set them off.

 

Follow these safety guidelines from Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service:

 

DO

Protect your pets from poor air quality – keep them indoors!

If you are feeling the effects of the poor air quality caused by wildfire smoke, chances are your pets are, too.

 

Vaughan Animal Services is recommending you keep your elderly dogs, flat-faced dogs and cats, and domestic birds indoors as much as possible. Only let your dogs outside for short periods of time, if needed. Make sure they have plenty of water to keep them hydrated.
