Fireworks Are Over---But Fire Safety Isn't: What NOT to Store After the 4th
Keep your leftover fireworks safe, and your storage secure this summer
The sparklers have fizzled, the BBQ is packed away, and your patriotic playlists have gone quiet---but before you pack up those leftovers from the Fourth of July, take a minute to ensure you're storing them safely.
At StorageMax, we know many customers use their units to tuck away seasonal items. For instance, holiday decorations, winter clothes, or sports equipment are all safe to store. But not everything from the holiday should go into storage.
Post-Holiday Items You Should Not Store:
As you're cleaning up from the festivities, here are a few items that should never be placed in your storage unit:
Unused Fireworks or Sparklers -- Even if they're unopened, fireworks are highly flammable and can become unstable over time, especially in the summer heat.
Propane Tanks & Lighter Fluid -- Commonly used for grills, these items are considered hazardous and are strictly prohibited in all storage units.
Leftover Food & Beverages -- Whether unopened drinks or frozen hot dogs, perishables attract pests and create health hazards.
Charcoal, Paint, or Cleaning Products -- These flammable or chemical-based items don't belong in storage and can pose serious risks in high temps.
