Health Care District of Palm Beach County’s Post

This #4thofJuly holiday, prevent injuries and keep the sparkle in your celebration. Last year in Palm Beach County, 11 people needed trauma center-level care due to fireworks injuries, including five children. More than half of these unintentional injuries happened during July 4th festivities. Our Trauma Agency advises you to leave fireworks to the pros and attend public displays. If adults use fireworks, remember to keep a safe distance, closely supervise children, wear protective gear, ignite one firework at a time, soak spent fireworks, and avoid relighting any that malfunction. #TraumaEducation #WeCareForAll #PreventingTraumaticInjuries #TraumaticInjuryPrevention
