Officials warn of dangers of Fourth of July fireworks

Seek medical help as soon as possible. In the meantime:

Hand surgeon Dr. Raymond Wittstadt said for an amputated part, such as a finger, put it in clean gauze or cloth and then place it in a plastic bag. He said the person should put the plastic bag on ice, but not let water or ice touch the part. Pediatric ophthalmologist Dr. Dean Fiergang said if a fireworks injury occurs to the eye, put a loosely fitting patch or shield over the eye while on the way to a doctor to help protect the eye. He said not to rub or touch the eye.

Though the Office of the State Fire Marshal recommends residents attend a public fireworks display rather than setting off their own, the department provides these safety tips for individuals who insist on using consumer fireworks:

Purchase the fireworks in the location where you intend to discharge them. Check with the local municipality to determine what fireworks are considered legal for use in that area. Read and follow label warnings and instructions. Do not allow small children to use fireworks. Do not consume alcoholic beverages while using fireworks. Have a bucket of water or hose available. Do not re-light a fuse. Hand and extremity experts at the Curtis National Hand Center in Baltimore provided this additional tip from the National Council on Fireworks Safety: Never use homemade fireworks or illegal explosives.

COCKEYSVILLE -- Just because some types of fireworks are legal in Carroll County and other parts of Maryland, it doesn't mean even those are safe. After being touched by a sparkler, it didn't take long for a shirt to catch flame in a demonstration during a conference hosted by the Office of the State Fire Marshal Thursday.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, sparklers burn at some 1,200 degrees. However, young children often handle them around the Independence Day holiday.

Bomb squad commander and Deputy Chief State Fire Marshal Jack Waldner, of the Office of the State Fire Marshal, said sparkler injuries can be even more detrimental for people who have long hair or may be wearing hairspray.

While people of all ages need to be careful, providing a young child with a sparkler doesn't make sense, said Dr. Dean Fiergang, pediatric ophthalmologist at Dankner-Fiergang Eye Associates, which has four locations, two of which are in Westminster and Eldersburg.

"At what age do you give a child a match and let them go play?" asked Fiergang, who was representing the Maryland Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons at the event Thursday.
