Arizona Burn Center Director Dr. Kevin Foster today joined the Phoenix Fire Department in reminding residents to leave fireworks to the professionals. While the state may have legalized the sale of some fireworks, most fireworks are still illegal to set off in the city of Phoenix. The only fireworks that are OK are novelty fireworks like sparklers, but even those can be dangerous and lead to severe burns. “All of these injuries are preventable,” said Dr. Foster. “Just because these fireworks are legal does not mean they are safe. Anything that explodes or catches on fire is potentially dangerous to human beings.”
