ILLEGAL FIREWORKS INJURE LITTLE GIRL, MAN

Bakersfield firefighters say illegal fireworks have injured a two-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man during 4th of July celebrations in local neighborhoods.

The Bakersfield Californian reports a girl suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns after a firework shot across the street and into her driveway. The man had to be rushed to Kern Medical after the Roman candle he lit exploded in his hand.
