Homeowners are Reminded of Basic Safety Tips

Although a fun holiday, the Fourth of July can be dangerous, too!

Basic safety tips:

Fireworks: Fireworks are an integral part of any Fourth of July celebration! Always read directions for use, and only use one at a time. Fireworks should never be handled by children and should never be aimed or thrown at another person. Monitor windy conditions and avoid using fireworks near homes, dry grass, animals, or flammable materials. Proper disposal of fireworks includes dousing them in water before discarding them in an appropriate waste receptacle. Set off fireworks from within your own property, in doing so you assume all responsibility for any damage incurred.
Fireworks are not permitted to be set off within common areas including the area around ponds and the boat dock or on empty lots
Be courteous and notify neighbors before setting off fireworks, please be considerate to neighbors and pets – NO FIREWORKS after 10:00 pm.

Water safety: Many will be headed to lakes, pools, and rivers to beat the summer heat. Reminder to wear life-jackets, and to never swim alone if headed to a large outdoor body of water, as drowning can happen in a matter of seconds.
Grilling safety: Homeowners should never leave a lit grill unattended. When grilling, a fire extinguisher should be kept readily available. Avoid decorating near any grilling area and keep the grill at least 10 feet away from any structure.
Pet precautions: Many pets are afraid of loud noises. Reminder to homeowners to keep pets safe by leaving them inside to prevent them from running off and encountering harm once the festivities begin.

Johns Landing Homeowners Association Board of Directors wishes everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July!

Florida Fireworks Laws

John's Landing HOA

Do You Know Florida Fireworks Laws?

Are you sure you know Florida’s Fireworks Laws? Around this time of year, those fireworks stands start popping up and sell cases of fireworks, so it must be legal. Right?
Your neighbors are shooting off explosives. Almost everyone is doing it, so it must be legal. Right?

Here’s What Florida Fireworks Laws Permit

When you walk into the fireworks store (or stand), you see crates and boxes with cool names like Barely Legal, Lock and Load, and Tropic Thunder. There are specialty kits for a Aerial Avalanche and a Finale Spectacle. Unfortunately for you, Florida Fireworks Laws only permit you to buy items classified as Sparklers. Remember those little sticks you light and sparks fly off, occasionally burning your wrist? As a kid, you’d run around and wave them in circles. That’s still all you’re really allowed to have. You can buy fountains, snakes and glow worms – they’re classified as sparklers. To be fair, you can buy anything they sell. The problems come around when you try to use the fireworks.
Lighting anything larger than a sparkler for the purpose of putting on a show without a permit is a misdemeanor in Florida. You may face up to a $1,000 fine and a year in jail.
The fireworks store may ask you to sign a waiver if you buy anything above a sparkler. That waiver isn’t for your benefit and doesn’t give you a permit to use the fireworks. If you take the time to read it, you’ll see it exists only to protect the fireworks vendor by declaring that you only intend to use the fireworks for a legal reason. If you go ahead and use them for an illegal reason, you’re on your own.
