For Rhea Vidhun, the dangers of fireworks are deeply personal.
"In less than a minute, everything was just on fire," Vidhun recalled. "I went on the floor. I stopped, dropped, and rolled."
"It definitely isn't an easy injury, and you're left with the scars of what happened for the rest of your life," she said.
Burn specialists say what happens in the first few minutes after an injury can have a lasting impact.
Today, Vidhun volunteers in the same burn unit where she was once a patient and hopes to become a doctor, using her own experience to help others.
"If you're going to do it," Vidhun said, "at least keep a bucket of water or something. Try to keep safe, keep watch of your kids, and don't have too many going at the same time."
Doctors say even after the holiday, anyone treating a burn should cool the injury with running water and seek medical attention if the burn is severe.
