JFD advocates firework safety
Jennings Fire Department (JFD) advocates for residents to use safety precautions while handling fireworks. Fireworks are often used to mark special events and holidays, including Christmas and New Year’s. Although fireworks are prohibited in Jennings by city ordinance, those living outside the city limits are permitted to create a dazzling display of lights, much to the delight of their family and friends. However, igniting fireworks at home can be dangerous if basic safety precautions are not taken.
Do the Good You Can
Human beings know how to help each other. We rise to the occasion after natural disasters, for instance, and demonstrate that we are at our best when our fellow humans need us most. But why can’t we do this all the time? What keeps us from reaching out and helping others in the mundane give and take of our everyday lives? Or why do we sometimes fail to rise to the occasion in certain crises, such as helping refugees from war-torn regions. The fact that we sometimes help and other times look away or just plain refuse to help is perhaps an indictment of our moral sentiments, the feelings of empathy and sympathy which move us to help. Sometimes our heartstrings are pulled and we rise to the occasion and other times we fail to do so.
