Stand near marked exits and avoid packed areas that might trap you. - Keep kids close by.  - Fireworks can make children want to wander off.

Tell boardwalk workers or security if you see debris. For a legal consultation call [(713) 500-5000](tel:+17135005000) ## Weather and Where to Watch Weather plays a big role in fireworks safety.
