The Way Agency - Website

At The Way Agency, your trusted independent insurance agency in Kentucky, we love the Fourth of July — the cookouts, the parades, and yes… the fireworks. It’s a time to celebrate freedom, family, and fun under the sparkle of the night sky.

‍

We’re not here to dampen your plans. Truth be told, we enjoy a backyard fireworks show just as much as the next person. But as your local insurance experts, we want to make sure your celebrations don’t accidentally become insurance claims.

Fireworks and Insurance: What You Need to Know

‍

Before you light that fuse, it’s worth understanding how fireworks tie into your homeowners insurance, liability coverage, and auto insurance.

‍

Homeowners Insurance & Fireworks: If your fireworks cause damage to your property or a neighbor’s, your homeowners policy might cover it — if fireworks are legal in your area and you weren’t negligent.
Fireworks Liability Coverage: If someone gets injured on your property during a fireworks show, your personal liability insurance may help with medical expenses — again, within your policy limits.
Auto Insurance Firework Claims: If fireworks damage your vehicle (whether yours or a neighbor’s), you’ll need comprehensive coverage to file a claim.

‍

Keyword Tip: If you’ve searched for “does insurance cover fireworks damage?” — the answer is, it depends. Call us to make sure you’re covered before the spark starts.

🧨 Fourth of July Fireworks Safety Checklist

‍

Here’s your go-to list to keep your celebration both fun and safe:

‍

🔥 Fireworks Safety Tips

‍

✅ Only use legal fireworks for your city or county — laws vary across Kentucky and surrounding states.
✅ Light fireworks on a flat, fireproof surface (driveway or gravel, not grass or decks).
✅ Keep water sources nearby (hose, bucket, or fire extinguisher).
✅ Set a fireworks safety zone — spectators, pets, and children should be well out of range.
✅ Never re-light duds. Soak them and dispose properly.

‍

🏠 Protect Your Property & Guests

‍

✅ Review your insurance coverage before hosting a large gathering.
✅ Inform guests about your fire safety plan in case of emergency.
✅ Keep pets inside — fireworks can stress them out.
✅ Clear the area of flammables like dry brush, mulch, and patio cushions.

‍

🚸 Sparklers and Kids

‍

✅ Sparklers burn hotter than you think — up to 2,000°F.
✅ Designate responsible adults to handle fireworks.
✅ Glow sticks are a safer alternative for young kids.

‍

🧯 After the Fun

‍

✅ Soak spent fireworks overnight in water before trashing.
✅ Walk your property post-show to check for stray embers.
✅ Clean up debris to avoid lingering fire risks.

‍

Is Your Insurance Ready for the Fourth?

‍

Fireworks mishaps can be rare — but when they happen, they’re expensive. Whether you’re hosting friends, lighting your own fireworks, or just worried about a neighbor’s show, having the right home insurance or umbrella liability policy in place can protect your home, wallet, and peace of mind.
