As a retired operating room nurse, I urge parents and children to exercise caution with fireworks

“We are about to enter the 4th of July weekend made all the more special as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding. It is a time for cookouts, friendship, family, and fireworks. As a retired Operating Room nurse I spent many a fourth on call. It is with this in mind that I urge all residents to exercise caution around fireworks, especially near children. My memories are all too tragic regarding the senseless firework injuries I witnessed. So please, enjoy this special holiday and be safe out there!” – An Ocala resident shares his opinion.
