Fireworks are always fun but it’s important to remember safety comes first. Mishandled fireworks can be catastrophic.

“Some of these fireworks… they’re almost like grenades when they explode,” Dr. Stefan Meyering said.

This weekend doctors are asking Texans to be safe. Meyering is an ER doctor at John Peter Smith hospital in Fort Worth. He says Fourth of July is one of the hospital’s busiest weekends.
