Emergencies - Firecracker explodes in hand: 18-year-old seriously injured
An 18-year-old seriously injured his hand with a firecracker on New Year's Eve near Landshut in Lower Bavaria. The firecracker exploded uncontrollably in the young man's hand when he lit it, a police spokesman said on Monday. As a result, he will probably lose two fingers, they said.
The police in Lower Bavaria were called out on a "considerable number" of missions on New Year's Eve, as was reported in the morning. However, there were no major incidents.
The negligent use of fireworks caused a number of property damages and more than 20 small fires, such as garbage cans. However, the damage was reportedly always in the three- or four-digit range. There were no injuries.
