Abstract
In Great Britain the majority of firework injuries occur during late October to early November in the build-up and celebration of Guy Fawkes’ Night on 5 November. Despite many high profile safety campaigns, the number of firework injuries sustained in children under 13 has remained relatively static over the last 6 years [1]. Burns are the most common type of firework injury with eye injuries, open wounds and finger amputations all reported in lesser numbers. We present the case of a child who sustained significant pulmonary contusion following a firework injury in Bradford on Guy Fawkes’ Night 2003.
