Fireworks Safety and Injury Prevention 
Campaign Kit > Injury Statistics

In 2007 there were more than 1059 fireworks-related emergency incidents in Washington resulting in more than $21.5 million in property loss.

Take Responsibility:

• Don't overestimate your child's ability to use good judgement. Set family boundaries. Only adults should light fireworks. Children are naturally curious. Be sure fireworks and any matches and lighters are secured out of sight and reach of children. Be sure to discharge all fireworks devices so there are no leftovers to tempt curious children.
• M80's, M100's, or M1,000's are not fireworks, they are illegal explosive devices. They can cause amputations and other severe injuries. Their use or possession has legal consequences.
