Fireworks Flying off the Shelf

(St. Francois County, MO.) Fireworks are flying of the shelves at fireworks tents across the Parkland. The owner of Jerry's Fireworks, Marty Umfleet, who's father began the business in 1957, says he doesn't expect any fireworks tent will have any inventory left to sell by this Saturday.

Umfleet says it is very important to exercise safety, indicating fireworks have become more powerful over the years making safety practices even more necessary.
