The Fourth of July is over but area hospitals are still waiting to see if more people will be rushed in after suffering injuries due to fireworks.
Two people, including a teenager, were airlifted to Harborview Medical Center after suffering devastating hand injuries at a popular field used to light fireworks in Auburn.
A YouTube video, courtesy of J Boom, shows just how busy the field where people are allowed to light fireworks got a few days before the Fourth of July. Click here to see the video.
The field is located near the Muckleshoot Casino on Auburn Way South.
“Hundreds and hundreds of people," said vendor Charlie Black.
Black says he stayed busy selling fireworks throughout the day on Monday and watching people light the explosives on the field at night.
“It was crazy. I mean, there were fireworks going off everywhere,” he said. “You could see them from here. You could see, just, stuff going off on the ground. You could tell that kids were throwing them."
There was an accident amid the celebration.
"The first call came in at about 10:26," said Kelly Tyson, of Valley Regional Fire Authority.
Firefighters rushed to the field for a severe hand injury call.
Then, 30 minutes later, they rushed to the field across the street after another person's hand may have been blown off too.
