At a glance, fireworks are a beautiful and sparkling sign of summer, especially during Memorial Day and 4th of July celebrations. But when done incorrectly — ya know, like in your backyard — they can be extremely dangerous. In fact, the Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that there were 9,100 fireworks-related injuries and five deaths in 2018 alone — and on average, 180 people go to the emergency room every day for a related injury during July.
