Firefighters are reminding people about the dangers of illegal fireworks after a person was injured on a 60-foot fishing boat Thursday night.
Morro Bay Fire says firefighters and paramedics responded to a fishing boat off the South T-Pier around 11:40 p.m. for what they described as a “devastating partially amputated hand caused by an illegal mortar.”
Fire officials did not provide additional information on the injury or incident, but said people can face fines of $1,000 when caught using illegal fireworks in the city.
