Fireworks, the 4th and Orange County
Celebrate Freedom From Junk In Orange County
July 4th is a few more weeks away. What are you plans? Watch fireworks displays on TV being broadcast from Washington DC or Boston? Attend the local big one in Laguna Beach? Or have you decided to hold the largest party in your city to show off your great skyline view of your community’s celebrations? If the last one, we have two bits of advice. Don’t set off any fireworks yourself. And call OC Junk Hailing ahead of time so we can come before and after to take away all the debris.
Fireworks are not a DIY project
Leave it to the professionals. Really, you’ve heard it before. You are hearing it now. You will hear it again (courtesy of the National Fire Protection Association)
- In 2013, fireworks caused an estimated 15,600 reported fires in the U.S., including 1,400 structure fires, 200 vehicle fires, and 14,000 outside and other fires.
- In 2014, U.S. hospital emergency rooms saw an estimated 10,500 people for fireworks-related injuries.
- More than one-third (36%) of the fireworks injuries in 2014 were to hands or fingers. One in five (19%) were eye injuries. An additional 19% were to other parts of the head.
Don’t become a statistic.
Up close and personal
On the other hand, if you need to feel the power & see the lights as close as possible, then make sure you arrive as early as possible to the Laguna Beach Fireworks show. It is the premiere local hot event. The Laguna Beach fireworks display takes place in Heisler Park at Monument Point. In anticipation & preparation, the park will be closed at noon. The show begins at approximately 9pm.
Parking spaces will be difficult to find. Arrive early. On July 4th, the free trolley will be running on a modified schedule from 9:30am to 7pm.
Or you can hold your own cook out, family barbeque or dinner party; supply food & beverages and you’ll have no shortage of guests. But the more who show, the more you will need to pick up afterwards – and prior.
Yes, this is a reminder from your friends at OC Junk Hauling that clean up for a 4th of July party is not just something you do at the end. You will have tons (hopefully) of friends & family over. What do your front and back lawns look like? Are your guests walking through the garage? What does that look like? Do you have a visible representation of a “to do” it list of boxes, or could there be used sporting & exercise equipment detracting from the beauty of your lawn?
Give us a call to haul all that away before the part begins. And we can also come back the next day for the cups, bottles, plates, food, etc. from what we hope will be a successful Independence Day celebration. Your place again next year?
