fireworks safety

A report issued by the U.S. Consumer Protection Safety Commission shows firework-related injuries are up over 25% since 2006, with nine deaths in 2021.

The 4th of July holiday is synonymous with fireworks and officials with the Minnesota Safety Council are hoping you consider attending a public fireworks display rather than lighting your own.

Another holiday weekend is on tap and CentraCare Health officials have a few reminders to keep you and your family safe this Fourth of July.
