As your family celebrates the 4th of July, use caution if you’re lighting your own fireworks. There’s a 1 in 19,556 chance you could hurt yourself. You’re actually four times more likely to injure yourself shaving or using a chain saw. And you have a one in 3,623 chance of injury mowing your lawn.
So play it safe today and skip the yard work, shaving and let the professionals put on the firework displays. Here’s a list of where you can find them in Metro Atlanta (http://tinyurl.com/34vqyxr).
Speaking of playing it safe, as a special thank you to the people who protect our neighborhoods, Brock Built is offering a $5000 buyer bonus for police officers and firefighters on all our communities. Call 404.472.5707 for more information.
