The Fourth of July is just around the corner. Many of us will spend that day with family and friends grilling out, playing sports and possibly shooting firecrackers or handling sparklers.

However you decide to spend July 4 with your loved ones, we encourage you to be mindful of safety. With all the cooking and other activities involving fire that tend to take place on this day, it is a good time of year to be mindful of fire safety. There are many resources for fire safety, including your local fire department, the Internet and your city's residential safety codes.

Plan ahead

When involved in the care of a loved one, it is always important to have a plan in place in case of a fire. This is particularly important when caregiving for loved ones who are confined to a bed or a wheelchair. Having multiple exit routes is a good idea. It is also a good idea to practice safety measures for preventing fires altogether.
