During our Fourth of July celebration, quite often the pursuit of happiness involves the use of fireworks. Fireworks are beautiful at a public display, but can cause ugly damage when used illegally. The Wilkes-Barre Branch of the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind wants everyone to know that fireworks are weapons and, in the wrong hands, can cause injury, blindness and sometimes death. Studies indicate that more than 14,000 Americans will be injured by fireworks this year. Of these 14,000 about 3,500 will be eye injuries, 1,100 will result in some degree of blindness. The Pennsylvania Fireworks Law prohibits the use of fireworks by individuals. Firecrackers, torpe- does, skyrockets, roman candles and other fireworks pose a serious threat to eyesight and are illegal. The sale and or use of fireworks by unauthorized persons can result in punishment by fine, imprisonment, or both. The common firecracker is still the most popular firework and the primary cause of accidents. Many firecrackers contain more than 200 percent of the flash power allowed under federal safety standards. The M-80, a common firecracker, is equal to more than an eighth of a stick of dynamite. Many severe injuries occur when different types of firecrackers are combined to create larger devices and when explosives are put into containers such as glass jars. Rockets attribute to a large number of injuries, especially to the eyes. Because of their unpre- dictable flight patterns, rockets can easily strike a person in the eye, often an innocent victim who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Sparklers, although legal and harmless looking, burn at 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, leaving a steel core hot enough to sear flesh and set clothing and hair on fire. They are responsible for numerous eye injuries each year, especially when they are thrown in the air. . The Wilkes-Barre Branch of the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind urges all Pennsylvanians to obey the Fireworks Law by not buying or using fireworks this Fourth of July. Instead, they sug- gest attending one of the super- vised public fireworks displays in your area. The Wilkes-Barre Branch for the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind is a private, nonprofit, chari- table organization founded upon two basic precepts: the support and promotion of the interests of the blind and the prevention of blind- ness. Programs and services con- ducted by the Wilkes-Barre Branch, Pennsylvania Association for the Blind are available to all eligible individuals without regard to race, color, religious creed, ancestry, national origin, age, sex or handi- cap.
