Happy Independence Day!

Many of us enjoy celebrating our nation’s independence by watching public displays of fireworks, or by setting off our own.

If you choose to set off your own fireworks, be smart, be careful and be considerate of your neighbors. The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission offers the following safety tips for using fireworks:

• Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fire or other mishap.
• Never allow children to play with or ignite fireworks, even sparklers.
• Light fireworks one at a time, then move back quickly.
• Never point or throw fireworks at another person.
• Never pick up or try to relight fireworks that have not fully ignited.
• Never use fireworks after consuming alcohol or other substances that impair judgement or the ability to act quickly.

PennDOT driver license service centers are closed today. Customers may still obtain a variety of driver and vehicle products and services, including all forms, publications and driver training manuals, online through PennDOT’s Driver and Vehicle Services website, www.dmv.pa.gov.

Have a safe and happy July Fourth!
Fish for Free Today!

Today, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) will host a Fish for Free day to allow anyone (resident or non-resident) to legally fish on all Pennsylvania waterways. No license is required, but all other fishing regulations still apply. This is a great way to expose the next generation of anglers to the outdoors! More information about fishing in Pennsylvania is available here.
