Amber Davenport, the regional clinical director for WellNow Urgent Care, is urging people to exercise caution when handling fireworks on the Fourth of July. She told News 8 that burn injuries tend to increase during this holiday. To prevent injuries, she recommends being careful when lighting fireworks, standing a safe distance away, and ensuring that children are not unsupervised around fireworks.
In addition to being cautious with fireworks, Davenport suggests having a first aid kit on hand in case of emergencies. If a burn occurs, she recommends applying cool, moist compresses and seeking treatment at a medical clinic. She also advises keeping an eye out for signs of heat exhaustion, especially during mid-day when the sun is hottest. It is essential to stay hydrated and avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol, as they can contribute to dehydration.
To stay safe this Fourth of July, it is important to follow these tips and take necessary precautions when using fireworks. Being prepared and aware of potential hazards can help prevent injuries and ensure a fun and enjoyable holiday for everyone.
