Fires, Explosions Fireworks Dangers Brad was a healthy 12- year-old until the oil drum exploded. Brad (not his real name) had been walking down an alley setting off ladyfingers when he found the old storage drum, still filled with fumes. What would happen the 12-year-old had wondered, if he set off one of his firecrackers inside the drum? The explosion blinded one of Brad's eyes and scorched his face. It ripped off a piece of the^drum's top, which slicesf into Brad's forehead, peeling back his scalp to the top of his head. He was in the hospital six months. Brad's case is one of many where fireworks cause serious fires or explosions. These accidents make fireworks even more dangerous than they normally are, according to Jack Carter, state fire marshal. "It's what kids do with them that's the problem," Carter said. "Fifty-two weeks out of the year, we teach kids not to play with matches. On the Fourth of July, we give them fireworks." Fireworks are illegal - and they're dangerous. Carter estinjated they injure more than 250 people in Illinois every Independence day. Most injuries are to people who bought them illegally. "The law is a lot stricter than most people realize," Carter said. All fireworks, including firecrackers and Roman candles, are illegal in Illinois without a permit for a public display. To get a permit, three adults must post $1,000 bond and have iocal authorities inspect where the applicants will set the fireworks off. The la^dttempts not only to reduce direct injuries from fireworks like burns and deafness, but also to avoid tragedies like Brad's, which stem from curiosity or carelessness. Fire caused by such accidents destroyed welt over $60,000 in property in 1979, according to the office of the state fire marshal. Work by local authorities throughout the state in en­ forcing fireworks laws has reduced the number of ac­ cidents statewide, Carter said. Local authorities are prohibiting illegal retail sales, keeping fireworks from children's hands, he said. More people have become aware of the law and obey it, he said, but most still violate it without knowing they do. cast using area young people as well as students enrolled in the new Festival theatre school.
