Fire Chief John Looney notes that while fireworks are a fun and exciting part of Independence Day, they can also be quite dangerous \u2013 sparklers, for example, burn at a temperature of 1,200 F. Like Chief Tracy, Chief Looney strongly encourages everyone to leave fireworks to the experts, keeping in mind the serious injuries that fireworks in the wrong hands can cause, including burns, lacerations, eye injuries, hearing loss, and the loss of fingers. The State Fire Marshal\u2019s Office reports there were twenty-four fires and eleven injuries blamed on fireworks in Delaware in 2020, which is up from seven fires and two injuries in 2019 and thirteen fires and two injuries in 2018. Most injuries occur around the July Fourth holiday.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JULY 4TH CELEBRATION Wilmington, Delaware The Freedom Celebration Fireworks Show by Pyrotecnico will be\u00a0livestreamed from Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park; rain date is July 5 Wilmington Mayor Mike Purzycki and Cultural Affairs Director Tina Betz invite residents and visitors to enjoy the return of the City\u2019s annual Independence Day fireworks show on\u00a0Monday,\u00a0July 4 starting with festivities beginning [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-396","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mack-made.com\/cityfest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mack-made.com\/cityfest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mack-made.com\/cityfest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mack-made.com\/cityfest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mack-made.com\/cityfest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=396"}],"version-history":[{"count":36,"href":"https:\/\/mack-made.com\/cityfest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/396\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2208,"href":"https:\/\/mack-made.com\/cityfest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/396\/revisions\/2208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mack-made.com\/cityfest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
