Sparklers alone can reach 2,000 degrees — a major burn risk — especially for teens aged 15 to 24, who often suffer hand, finger, and head burns. Louisiana has over 600 licensed vendors open until midnight on July 5th, but safety is non-negotiable. Keep fireworks at least 200 feet from buildings and flammable materials, never let kids handle them, and avoid homemade or illegal devices. Always light one firework at a time, keep water nearby, soak spent fireworks before disposal, and heed burn bans. Safety first — don’t let the celebration turn into a disaster.
