If you have fireworks left over after the July 4th celebrations, remember to continue to exercise caution and practice fireworks safety to avoid hand injuries and other accidents. Fireworks can still cause serious injuries...even after the holidays. We tend to see many hand injuries that could have been avoided by following simple fireworks safety guidelines.
