VNA warns of firework risks around holidays

The Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association, or VNA, reminds residents that fireworks-related injuries are most common on and around holidays associated with fireworks celebrations, especially the Fourth of July. Thousands of people are treated in emergency departments each year for injuries sustained from fireworks. The safest way to prevent fireworks-related injuries is to leave fireworks displays to trained professionals. For more information, visit www.cdc.gov and search "fireworks."
