The Fourth of July is right around the corner and Christian County residents are excited and ready to celebrate.

Sheriff Bruce Kettlekamp says that there were four deaths caused by fireworks in 2016 and over 11,000 people were injured and needed immediate medical attention.

Kettlekamp says his best advice for residents this Fourth of July is to leave the fireworks to the professionals so relax and enjoy the show.

Kettlekamp mentions the sparklers being dangerous and he has seen that first hand at weddings.

Kettlekamp appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show.
