A man sustained a “severe hand injury” when a firework he had ignited went off before he could set it down. The Office of the State Fire Marshal says emergency personnel were called to a home at 5828 Tilghman Beach Drive in Talbot County Saturday around 10 p.m.
According to a release, a juvenile had found an unknown type of firework or illegal explosive and handed it to the man, who was his neighbor. Officials say the injury is serious but not life-threatening; he was flown to Union Memorial Hospital by Maryland State Police.
