FCFRD News Blog : Happy Independence Day! Celebrate Safely!

Press release from the FCFRD News Blog:

July 4, 2021

Hoping everyone has a happy and safe Independence Day!

Each Fourth of July thousands of people, most often children and teens, are injured while using consumer fireworks. It may surprise most people that Sparklers account for more than one-quarter of emergency room fireworks injuries.

Did you know that Sparklers can burn at 1200 degrees Fahrenheit which is hot enough to cause third degree burns!
