Fergus Falls Tenants & Fireworks: Safety and Regulations

Anytime any of us think back to enticing, hot summer nights, our memories typically include lighting sparklers and setting off colorful fireworks. Fireworks can be a remarkable part of summertime fun, although, for owners of single-family rental homes in Fergus Falls, they can become quite a dangerous risk. In spite of accomplishing all necessary precautions, and although you’re only firing off small fireworks, matters can suddenly go awry. When you combine fire and explosives, there is a real danger of not simply personal injury but property damage also.

It is stated by the National Fire Prevention Association, fireworks caused 11,000 injuries and 4 deaths in 2016. Together with personal injury, the NFPA asserts that fireworks start an average of 18,500 fires each year. 1,300 of those are structural fires and 300 are vehicle fires. It’s no sweat to envision how that crops up: if you’ve never watched a firework flying underneath a stationary car by accident and gone through a moment of sheer terror and fright, you’re one of the really lucky ones. On the whole, the NFPA estimates that fireworks cause $43 million in property damage each year.

As a property owner, you are right to be apprehensive about your Fergus Falls tenants lighting fireworks on or near your rental homes. Admitting that we can understand why they might take delight in it, the records alone are a valid reason to seriously discuss with your tenants about not preferring to use fireworks at their rental property. One tactic to lead them to accept your request is likely to offer them information on firework safety and the risks involved.
