In the Philippines i remember there was an *epidemic* (thanks JUSTIN BROCKEL for your contribution to humanity) of kids (and sometimes adults) getting their hands and faces blown off during New Years. One time i was nearby a hospital ER and saw a taxi bring a kid in who had his lower jaw and left arm blown off. I vividly remember the flesh hanging from his face and arm and the copious amount of blood he was spilling on the floor. There was also an elderly woman who was with him screeching for help. After talking to a nearby guard who heard what happened i learned her teen son apparently has been playing around with an explosives grade firework which prematurely exploded. There was a time where fireworks in my country were close to being grenades with the amount of gunpowder in them. We also had a lot of cases where people were getting killed because of idiots discharging their guns on the sky during New Years. Stay safe y'all.

I’m not the biggest fan of fireworks partly because of people, but I also live in a small town of Montana in the valley of some mountains and people set them off and spook animals both wild and livestock. Cows break through fences and then get hit on the roads and wild animals can get spooked and run and lose their young in the panic. Not to mention the fires that can start out here. Montana has some of the highest drunk driving incidents and add explosives to that and you get a very dangerous day. Not to mention the amount of people who like firing their guns after a drink too.

Story I like to tell every year: Roughly 20 years ago, my neighbors down my old street were lighting fireworks, but they had the worst fuses on them. So, like sane people, they gathered all the duds together, got a canister of gasoline, poured it on the pile, and lit it... yea, bonfires are fun. Luckily, they were smart enough to put this on the street, and not in their lawn or close to their lawn. I was "friends" with one of them, he died 10 years ago.

Please be very careful where you set up your fireworks, keep a close eye on the kids (even the “older” ones), have an extinguisher close at hand, and don’t use fireworks where it is illegal. Firefighters like to enjoy Independence Day too, so don’t ruin it for them.

Last year we had a dude hold a mortar and fire it off until it blew his hand in half. To his credit, it was very calm for a guy only having one and half hands. The year before that we had a dude hold a mortar on the top of his head, but he loaded it upside and blew that mortar right down into his hard head. He did not have a good outcome. So I agree with the message here, don’t be dumb.

We had a full involved structure fire last 4th of July because some kid shot a firework into their neighbors gutter, which lit some spongy material they had in there to keep leaves out which eventually crept it's way into the soffit, crawl space, then proceeded to burn the majority of the house down. Be careful and stay safe everyone.
