BE CAREFUL WITH THOSE "FIREWORKS"
In 2011, fireworks caused an estimated 17,800 reported fires, including 1,200 structure fires, 400 vehicle fires, and 16,300 outside and other fires.
These fires resulted in an estimated 40 civilian injuries and $32 million in direct property damage, with no reported fire deaths.
Sparklers, fountains and novelties alone accounted for 34 percent of the emergency room fireworks injuries in 2011
