1. Keep your grill away from your home, trees, and any structures. 

2. Keep food stored appropriately until it's time for grilling to prevent sickness.

4. Use caution when in the water, and swim with a buddy if you can. 

5. Wear appropriate helmets and knee pads when biking.

6. Wear life jackets while boating.

7. Hydrate!

8. Use fireworks one at a time, outdoors and away from any buildings or vehicles.
