With a boom, a flurry of colored lights fall from the sky. Colorful and exciting, fireworks have long been a symbol of celebration.
This Independence Day, citizens are reminded of state and local ordinances regarding the use of fireworks. The rules in place are to protect the public from unnecessary personal injury and property damage.
Each year, the Office of the State Fire Marshall [OSFM] requests data from Illinois hospital and emergency treatment centers to determine various facts about injuries associated with fireworks.
