          Minor injuries were reported when a mishap occurred with fireworks at the City of Linton’s Freedom Festival Fireworks display last night.

          The Greene County Daily World quotes fire chief Brad Sparks saying that 8 to 10 people had minor burns.

          According to the story, one of the fireworks went up but did not explode and hit the ground and then went off.  It went under a vehicle which Sparks says prevented more injuries.

          Some of the injured were treated at the scene and others went to the hospital.  Some vehicles in the vicinity suffered some damage in the incident.
