The Coffeyville Police Department is reminding residents to be careful with fireworks as we head into the July 4^th weekend.

 

Coffeyville Police Officer Mike Burroughs says it's especially important to supervise children around fireworks.

 

Already this year, a 12-year-old child in Tulsa lost most of his hand in an accident involving a mortar shell.

 

Coffeyville Police Chief Kwin Bromley says it's also important to clean up.

 

Fireworks can only be discharged on private property between the hours of 8 and midnight through the fourth.
