MUSCATINE, IA : 1 loses hand, 2 others injured in Muscatine fireworks accident on Thursday, 4th July 2019

A Muscatine man lost his hand and two others suffered serious injuries in a fireworks incident Thursday afternoon in the East Hill area of Muscatine, according to the city's website.

Assistant Fire Chief Michael Hartman said that this was the most serious incident in Muscatine related to fireworks since the State of Iowa made the sale and discharge of fireworks legal two years ago.

“We had a pickup truck burned as a result of fireworks a year ago but this is the worst personal injury we have had since fireworks became legal,” Hartman said.
