Statistics show that sparklers accounted for the greatest number of reported injuries during July. Lit sparklers may burn for nearly a minute producing showering sparks that can reach temperatures of 3000 degrees Fahrenheit.

If and when accidents do occur, the surgeons at the Indiana Hand to Shoulder Center are available 24 hours a day to provide patients with the best possible care for a fireworks related injury.

Firework Injury Facts:

• Children are the most likely victims of fireworks injuries.
• Injuries to the fingers and hand are the most common fireworks injuries.
• Injuries most often occur while attempting to light the fuse of the explosive device.

Fireworks Safety Tips:

• Fireworks should be unpacked from any paper packing outdoors and away from any open flames.
• Follow all warning labels and read precautionary information (if any) included on the fireworks package.
• Do not smoke when handling any type of firecracker, rocket or aerial display.
• Take note of any sudden wind change that could cause sparks or debris to fall on a car, neighboring house, or spectator.
• Small children should be kept a safe distance from the fireworks; older children that use fireworks need to be carefully supervised.
• Keep a bucket of water nearby and/or a garden hose for any fire emergency that may occur.
• Never attempt to pick up and relight a “fizzled” fireworks device that has failed to light or “go off.”
• Do not use any aluminum or metal soda can or glass bottle to stage or hold fireworks before lighting.
• Do not use any tightly closed container for these lighted devices to add to the exploding effect or to increase noise.
• Never attempt to make your own exploding device from raw gunpowder, or similar flammable substance. The results are too unpredictable and may be devastating.
