A Florida man's hand was blown off by fireworks on early Saturday morning.

Broward Sheriff's Office deputies received a call regarding an incident involving fireworks just after 1 a.m. in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida on Saturday, according to FOX 35 Orlando.

When Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue responded to the incident, according to the report, the man as well as his hand were taken to an area hospital.
A witness told 7News said the incident happened suddenly.

"It wasn’t even like five minutes, ’cause as soon as he lights it, it exploded," said the person, according to the report.

The man was taken to the hospital by a private vehicle, but the hand was taken to the hospital by Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue officials, according to the report."

What will tomorrow bring?
 
Not to single out Florida. This is no joke. The guy who had the first hand transplant at the University of Louisville that lost his hand in a fireworks accident was honored with pushing the button to start the fireworks of "Thunder over Louisville," which has been proclaimed one of the biggest fireworks displays in the world. This was many years ago., but I had to laugh about the irony. Have fun googling it, I cant find it, but I remember like Pepperidige Farms does. It was a big deal here.

It's not a conventional neighborhood ... just some cabins on this road (dirt road) with the biggest lot being about 2 acres if I had to guess and the smallest lot being a half acre. They banned fireworks out here this year due to no rain so the tards are going through enough ammo atm to supply a brigade.

Resident Florida man checking in.We had to do today on the 2nd.

Cousins, brothers, beer, bud, 104 mortars and not a single hair was singed. We are responsible Rednecks, one of which can snipe a pie plate at 60yards with a Roman Candle.

You skipped tool box you could live out of with an air compressor, tools for damn near any need, extra clothes/boots, tire kit, jumper box and cables, food, drinking water/engine coolant, spare belt, spare unit bearing, u-joint, and cv axle, fuses, fluid for everything, a few knives that can do anything, bolt cutters, hammers, electric power tools, winch, often a small generator that will run my portable welder, utility pew pew, and beer. There must always be backup beer.

How in the love of Gog did you miss zip ties?

In my best George Jones, I was prepping, when prepping wasn't cool.

You sound like someone that occasionally wears orange clothing. I always took you for a Roman Candle fight type of guy, (sorry if I misgendered you).

In all seriousness folks, fireworks are to be shown ultimate respect. I joke about getting hosed and lighting them off, but that's it, a joke. We're over a lake or on several acres in the sticks. We did have a sketcky situation though. Even weighed down, a coon ran out of the bushes knocking over a mortar tube which blasted right by my head. That one could have been prevented with common sense gun laws and the green new deal. ;)

Y'all be safe.
