Lighting up the night sky for the 4th of July

The Annual July 4th Lincoln Valley Chamber of Commerce fireworks show lit up the sky over Lincoln for more than 10-minutes on Independence Day.

This year served as a reminder of the dangers of the privately purchased fireworks when a large mortar on Hooper parks west ball field tipped over. The pyrotechnic shot through the fence and struck a spectator in the shoulder and face. The impact knocked the man down and caught his shirt on fire. He suffered a second degree burn on his left shoulder, powder burns on his face and neck and damage to the hearing in his left ear.
