SUMMARY: As folks nationwide prepare for the 4th of July, it’s crucial to check local regulations on fireworks. Tupelo Fire Marshal Tyler Scott emphasizes fireworks safety, noting they cause 10,000 accidents annually, including 10% eye injuries. Fireworks are explosives and must be handled cautiously; old or poorly made ones can unpredictably explode. In case of burns, ensure the area is safe, keep the burn cool, and call 911. Fireworks also spark 19,000 fires yearly. Scott advises that only professionals should handle fireworks shows to prevent accidents. Firefighters aim to stay busy but safe during the holiday.
