As July 4th Approaches, NJ State Police Warn About The Dangers Of Using, And Buying, Fireworks

fireworksThe traditions of parades, cookouts, and fireworks help us celebrate the summer season, especially our nation’s birthday on the Fourth of July. However, a joyful celebration can turn into a painful memory when children and adults are injured while using fireworks. Each year emergency rooms are full of patients who are injured by illegal fireworks, according to a press release from the New Jersey State Police. State troopers and other law enforcement officers will be enforcing the state’s laws to stem the flow of illegal fireworks into New Jersey from other states. It is a crime to sell, use, and/or possess any kind of fireworks including firecrackers, Roman candles, M80s, cherry bombs, salutes, and even sparklers in New Jersey without a valid permit.
