If you have a boy between the ages of 10 and 14, you should know he fits the profile for kids most likely to be injured by fireworks.

Overall, about 6,000 teens and children head to the emergency room each year because of fireworks injuries, according to data from Nationwide Children's Hospital in Ohio.

28-percent of those injuries were related to what many parents consider safer fireworks, like sparklers and fountains. Even if parents do the lighting of the fireworks, researchers say a quarter of fireworks injuries among children happen to those who are bystanders, and not directly handling the fireworks.

If you do choose to the fuse, there are a couple of reminders; remember anything that leaves the ground is illegal to set off in our state. The only legal items are fountains, sparklers and small ground fireworks.

And here's an extra fact, tip of a sparkler can burn at temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
