Read full article: Miami-Dade firefighters crack down on illegal sale of fireworks

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. - Miami-Dade firefighters are cracking down on the sale of illegal fireworks ahead of the Fourth of July holiday, conducting safety sweeps of several fireworks stands across the county. "Basically we come out here to these tents that sell fireworks every year and make sure vendors are selling fireworks that are approved by the state," Ozzy Norat, fire safety specialist for Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, said. "Illegal is pretty much anything that projects into the air, anything that explodes or pops," Norat said. "Anything that projects into the air can go anywhere, so those are illegal in Miami-Dade County." But it's not just the illegal fireworks that are a concern.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. - The Fourth of July is just two days away, which raises many concerns for emergency responders. "In 2018 alone, we had over 9,100 cases reported in emergency rooms due to burns and fire-related injuries. "We see all kinds of injuries, from burns to missing fingers to body parts that have been charred," Norat said. On Tuesday, they teamed with the Miami Burn Center at the University of Miami to demonstrate the dangers of using common fireworks, even with the known favorite -- sparklers. They can burn some metals and glasses, so just imagine what it can do to your kids' eyes and hands," Norat said.

July deadliest month for drunken driving

Read full article: July deadliest month for drunken driving

More people die in drunken driving crashes in July than any other month, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). "Backyard barbecues, fireworks displays and other festivities surrounding the Fourth of July holiday often include drinking, making it one of the deadliest holidays of the year," said Helen Witty, national president of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, in a statement. The accompanying weekend is also prime for drunken driving. That year, 10,874 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes -- an average of one alcohol-impaired-driving fatality every 48 minutes. Staying off the roads, using public transit, and having a designated driver are all ways to stay safe this patriotic season.
