Note for pet owners: Fireworks can frighten pets. If you have animals at home, it helps to:
- Keep pets safely indoors.
- Reduce noise by closing gates, doors, and windows securely.
- Create a quieter indoor area to help block out sound.
- Put a collar on your pet with your name, address, and phone number in case they bolt, and someone finds them.
