| $1,000 worth of confiscated fireworks |

The Duxbury Fire Department, working with Duxbury Police, managed to seize over a thousand dollars worth of professional grade fireworks July 3 from a car on Bay Avenue. The car, an SUV, was unloading the fireworks out of the back around 8 p.m. when officials stumbled upon the vehicle. Duxbury Police detained the persons involved and confiscated the fireworks, which are being held at the fire department until the State Police Bomb Squad can dispose of them safely.
It is illegal for people to buy, sell, use or possess fireworks in Massachusetts without a license. Fire Chief Kevin Nord said there was an increase in the illegal use of fireworks this year, but that there was no issue with celebratory bonfires which require a permit. Members of an amateur fireworks show on an adjacent beach to Bay Ave. were told to submerge their fireworks in the surf. No injuries related to fireworks were reported during the week of the fourth, however people leaving that amateur show were seen with minor burns. A Fourth of July party at a private home in Pelham, N.H. resulted in injuries to 11 adults and five children when a fireworks display was accidently ignited. One victim, a two-year-old boy, remains on life support at Shriners Hospital in Boston. Fireworks are generally legal in New Hampshire. |
