Summary
Fireworks season in Kansas is costing lives and limbs—with 156 injuries reported in just two weeks, including 25 needing trauma center care and 28 kids under eight hurt. Fire Marshal agents ramped up inspections, finding 240 violations and seizing over 2,800 illegal fireworks—up 37% in inspections and nearly four times the haul from last year. Safety gaps like missing extinguishers and no smoking signs are putting lives at risk. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
