Fireworks Illegal Because of Danger Factor

Rochester, N.Y.) The Monroe County Sheriff's Department blew up a television to demonstrate how dangerous fireworks can be if not handled correctly.Sgt. Mark Jenis said, "Sparklers, in my personal opinion, are the one of the more dangerous fireworks that we come in contact with…just because the parents light them and hand them off to their 6-year old child. Basically, what they're doing is they're handing a burning piece of metal to a kid."Sheriff's deputies say they confiscate hundreds of dollars worth of fireworks every year.All fireworks and sparklers are illegal in New York State.
