Firework safety

Scars on the hand of Airman 1st Class Sean Huntley serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of firework safety. The Reservist, now a crew chief assigned to the 931st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, 931st Air Refueling Group, McConnell Air Force Base, Kan., severely injured his hand in a firework incident five years ago. Huntley underwent surgery and physical therapy in order to regain full use of the hand. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, an estimated 8,500 people are treated each year for firework related injuries. (Courtesy photo)
