Portage Public Safety urged people this holiday to douse spent fireworks with water and light them in open, paved areas to avoid burns and other injuries, noting that 156 firework-related injuries were reported in 2024.
Battalion Chief William Graham warned that sparks can harm eyes and advised calling 911 for serious injuries — careful handling of fireworks is key — to help keep everyone safe.
