Lake County trusts us to restore fire damage “Like it never even happened.”

Our Northwest Lake County team wants everyone in Grayslake to have a safe, fire and injury-free 4^th of July celebration. Here are some tips from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for getting into the patriotic spirit without fireworks:

• Use glow sticks, they glow in the dark and are a safe alternative to a sparkler. Fun for all ages.
• Loud and proud. Noise makers are sure to make a statement. They can be found at local party supply stores or make your own.
• Outdoor movie night. Set up a screen and projector. Don’t forget the bug spray!
• Red, white and blue silly string…fun for all ages.
• Make a patriotic craft with the family.
• Throw a birthday party for the USA, and don’t forget the cake.
