"Let Freedom Ring"   from Parrish Nurse Tamera:     Fireworks Safety Tips  Fireworks are a summer tradition for many families. Unfortunately, injuries from fireworks are another tradition that often seems to follow when kids are allowed to play with fireworks. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that:   Most injuries from fireworks occur in the few weeks around July 4th.   Almost half of the injuries were to children under age 15.   firecrackers caused the most injuries, followed by rockets and sparklers.   Burns are the most common injuries from fireworks.     Are Sparklers Safe?  Parents, who understand that firecrackers, bottle rockets, and roman candles, etc. can cause injuries, often let their younger kids play with sparklers because they think they are safe.   Sparklers, which can reach over 1000°F, cause half of the injuries to children under age five though, and 10 percent of fireworks-related injuries overall. So even sparklers should be avoided.     Fireworks Safety Tips  Although the CPSC offers some fireworks safety tips to 'help consumers use fireworks more safely,' such as providing adult supervision, keeping a bucket of water nearby, and observing local laws, etc., the American Academy of Pediatrics offers much better advice, and that is that: children and their families should be encouraged to attend public fireworks displays rather than purchase fireworks for home use.    Source: Consumer Product Safety Commission
