Sarasota County Emergency Services issued a warning about the dangers of sparklers, cautioning that they burn at a scorching 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This intense heat can easily melt certain metals and swiftly ignite clothing, leading to severe burns in children. Instances of children being burned by sparklers dropped on their feet have been reported. To avoid these risks, it is recommended to opt for safer alternatives like glow sticks, confetti poppers, or colored streamers.
