Fireworks Mishap Leaves Florida Teen with Severe Facial Burns and Finger Loss

A 13-year-old boy in Florida suffered burns to his face and chest and had his fingers partially amputated after a firework exploded in his hand. The teenager was trying to light mortar-style fireworks when the incident occurred, although his grandmother claimed he was cleaning up spent fireworks. Fire officials described the fireworks as high-grade and stated that the boy thought the firework was "done" before it ignited in his hand. The teenager is in stable condition at the hospital, but officials emphasized that his injuries will have a lasting impact on his life.
