WILMINGTON — Ahead of the July 4 holiday, as locals look to purchase fireworks, a local fire department is offering free soak buckets to provide greater safety.

The buckets, donated by Kilwin’s, help dispose the fireworks properly and come with safety tips on the outside.
- The buckets will be outside the front doors of both stations and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis through July 4.
