SCVFA asks that you help prevent Fireworks Injuries
Friday, July 2, 2021
The Sussex County Firefighters Assoc. urges residents
to use fireworks with caution ahead of the Fourth of July
holiday. Sparklers, which burn at over 1,200 degrees, are
often handled by children for the holiday. They're also one
of the leading causes of fireworks injuries, according to a
National Fire Protection Association news release, According
to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, an average of
250 people a day go to the emergency room with fireworks
-related injuries in the month around the patriotic holiday.
Delaware State Fire School Senior Instructor, Mike Lowe, said
public shows are the safest way to enjoy fireworks.
