Michael's Story: A Real-Life Example of the Dangers of Fireworks

Independence Day is right around the corner and due to the #Coronavirus pandemic, many local fireworks shows will be cancelled. Many people think backyard fireworks are fun and that something dangerous will never happen.
But that’s not the case. In this video, you’ll hear from a family who learned the dangers of #fireworks first-hand when their 4-year-old son Michael Shannon was struck in the head by a firework and killed. We hope Michael’s tragic story will help save other lives by showing you just how unpredictable and dangerous fireworks are and why they should only be used by licensed trained professionals.
