During the Fourth of July holiday, local hospitals get flooded with injuries from people of all ages, usually related to some sort of firework activity.
"Every year, first responders and medical staff witness the significant injuries that can occur from these illegal firework activities," Santa Clara Co. Fire Asst. Chief Brian Glass said. "They present significant injuries, severe burns, permanent disabilities and loss of life."They want you to keep the fireworks to the professionals or risk ending up in the burn unit.
With many going to BBQs and other events in the coming days, Sheckter reminds everyone it's not just fireworks that can lead to hospital admissions this time of year. Ring video captured a fire pit exploding after an oil-based fuel was added to it in San Jose last week. The incident landed Modesto resident Duncan Reno in the hospital.
"It was an instant and our lives changed," Reno said. "We were doing nothing different. We were doing what we normally do. Nobody else caught on fire. I caught on fire, and I couldn't put it out."
