Safety First

We all know that this is the time of the year where the dozens of fireworks stores around town make most of their money and that's thanks to all of us locals and tourists who crowd the beaches at night lighting off every bottle rocket and cherry bomb we all could get our hands on. And of course safety should be priority number one.
