There's plenty to choose from at a fireworks stand, but maybe thebiggest choice has already been made for you. Fireworks dealer Jimmy Mooresays the choices are limited by law.
In NC, only non-explosive fireworks such as fountains, sparklers andsmoke bombs are permitted and no one under 16 can buy fireworks.
Moore says he won't sell to anyone under 18.
Part of being safe is realizing that the fireworks themselves aren'tthe only danger. Rusty Styon of the Raleigh Fire Department says there aremany ways fireworks can cause trouble.
Regardless of the cause, statistics show most accidents involvingfireworks involve children between the ages of 10 and 14.
