Again . . .
For quite a few irrationally exuberant celebrants . . . 2025 will be the last fourth of July they'll enjoy with all digits intact. This is a tragic fact of life that seems to endure no matter how many warnings local authorities issue . . . Never mind that fireworks for personal use are technically illegal inside city limits.
Tonight local news is sharing reports of mishaps and that's a nice place to take a pause, advise caution and hope that we all meet each other back here in the morning . . . Check-it:
At least 17 people were treated by doctors and nurses in the metro area for injuries from fireworks by 5 p.m. Friday.
The University of Kansas Health System reported that their victims were males between the ages of six and 58. They suffered injuries to their hands, an arm, face, and eye, according to a news release from the health system.
The fireworks involved in the accidents included a smoke bomb, a crackling ball, bottle rocket, sparkler and mortar.
Three of the injured were admitted to hospitals, according to the news release.
