— can injure or kill you\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before considering the huge risks of sparking a wildfire (more on this below), setting off your own fireworks — even when legally purchased in one of the areas that permits them — can be incredibly dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a 2023 safety briefing, Dr. Clifford Sheckter, Director of the Regional Burn Center at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, gave graphic examples of the kinds of injuries — and even deaths — that attempting to set off your own fireworks can incur. On mortar-style fireworks, Sheckter warned that “if those go off in your hand, you are losing fingers, if not your whole hand. If this goes off by your face, you could end up blind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while sparklers might strike many folks as a small, innocuous kind of personal firework on July Fourth, Sheckter noted that not only are they illegal in many areas, but sparklers can also pose massive threats to children. “Kids think it’s a popsicle: They put it in their mouths, they put it near their faces, they give themselves pretty severe burns and end up on the burn unit for one to two weeks,” he warned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11935568\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11935568\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS46625_009_SanFrancisco_Hospital_01142021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"An ambulance outside of a hospital.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS46625_009_SanFrancisco_Hospital_01142021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS46625_009_SanFrancisco_Hospital_01142021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS46625_009_SanFrancisco_Hospital_01142021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS46625_009_SanFrancisco_Hospital_01142021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS46625_009_SanFrancisco_Hospital_01142021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A San Francisco Fire Department ambulance leaves the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital on Jan. 14, 2021. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Lt.

Injuries from these kinds of burns, Sheckter said, are very difficult to reconstruct and often necessitate tissue grafts or prostheses. Curious children wandering around campsites and grasping coals, embers or fire pit rings are also a common source of pediatric injuries.[aside postID=news_12086445 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/GettyImages-597922087.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How personal fireworks can spark wildfires at this time of year\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2021, \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/skip-the-fireworks-this-record-dry-4th-of-july-over-150-wildfire-scientists-urge-the-us-west-163561\">over 150 fire scientists\u003c/a> were moved enough to join many fire officials across the West in urging residents to abandon their plans to launch personal fireworks on July Fourth because of the wildfire risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mishandled fireworks, specifically around the Fourth of July in California, have caused real damage in the past.

— can injure or kill you\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before considering the huge risks of sparking a wildfire (more on this below), setting off your own fireworks — even when legally purchased in one of the areas that permits them — can be incredibly dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a 2023 safety briefing, Dr. Clifford Sheckter, Director of the Regional Burn Center at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, gave graphic examples of the kinds of injuries — and even deaths — that attempting to set off your own fireworks can incur. On mortar-style fireworks, Sheckter warned that “if those go off in your hand, you are losing fingers, if not your whole hand. If this goes off by your face, you could end up blind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while sparklers might strike many folks as a small, innocuous kind of personal firework on July Fourth, Sheckter noted that not only are they illegal in many areas, but sparklers can also pose massive threats to children. “Kids think it’s a popsicle: They put it in their mouths, they put it near their faces, they give themselves pretty severe burns and end up on the burn unit for one to two weeks,” he warned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11935568\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11935568\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS46625_009_SanFrancisco_Hospital_01142021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"An ambulance outside of a hospital.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS46625_009_SanFrancisco_Hospital_01142021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS46625_009_SanFrancisco_Hospital_01142021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS46625_009_SanFrancisco_Hospital_01142021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS46625_009_SanFrancisco_Hospital_01142021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS46625_009_SanFrancisco_Hospital_01142021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A San Francisco Fire Department ambulance leaves the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital on Jan. 14, 2021. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Lt. Jonathan Baxter, a spokesperson for the San Francisco Fire Department, also told KQED in 2019 that \u003ca href=\"https://sf-fire.org/safety-resources-and-information/fireworks-safety\">sparklers are illegal in San Francisco\u003c/a> (and yes, sparklers are considered fireworks \u003ca href=\"https://www.calcityfire.us/residents/fireworks-info#:~:text=Are%20Sparklers%20Legal%20in%20California,dangerous%20fireworks%20and%20are%20illegal.\">according to the state\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sparklers burn at 1,800 degrees, which is [hot] enough to burn gold,” Baxter said. “So if it can burn gold, you can imagine what it can do to your hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheckter particularly stressed the importance of not mixing alcohol and drugs with fireworks or fire, noting that “one of the most common injuries” his burns unit sees around the Fourth of July is incurred by people “mixing alcohol and bonfires.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you get wasted and fall into a bonfire, you’re either going to die, or you’re going to end up severely burned and on my burn unit for the next six months,” Sheckter said, warning of so-called sixth-degree burns that can extend down into a person’s bones. Injuries from these kinds of burns, Sheckter said, are very difficult to reconstruct and often necessitate tissue grafts or prostheses. Curious children wandering around campsites and grasping coals, embers or fire pit rings are also a common source of pediatric injuries.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
