East Valley emergency crews report they saw very little, if any, fireworks-related issues over the holiday weekend.
Gilbert Hospital, as well as the Banner hospitals in the East Valley, say there were no fireworks-related emergency room visits.
In Mesa, a juvenile suffered a minor burn to the hand when trying to remove burning fireworks from a tree, according to the Mesa Fire Department.
A small fire was caused by the improper disposal of fireworks in a trash can, and juveniles playing with fireworks caused a 200-square-foot fire in a field in separate incidents, said Mesa Fire spokesman Forrest Smith.
Among the Mesa, Gilbert, Apache Junction and Queen Creek fire departments, that was the only medical call, Smith said.

Wow! Imagine that! Just like the hysterical left said there would be daily shootings in bars and restaurants when firearms were legalized for those places.[beam]

I happened to be at the Banner Hospital that the burn victim was taken to that night...I was quite taken aback at the joyous applause at the news that the patient had arrived. Apparently the nurses and unit staff had a pool going on what time the first "idiot" would show up. The female nurse who won the money was very excited. They were all cheering, with the exception of the person who had the next time slot. I only mention this because the staff made no attempt whatsoever to be discreet about it. Very unprofessional I thought.
