The man, who does not want to be identified, was working on a fireworks display clean-up when he picked up the item.
A man has lost two fingers after a discarded firework exploded in his hand, melting his clothes to his body.
"He bent down and picked it up with his hand when it exploded. He was working alone but was lucky a woman was passing by who witnessed what happened. Speaking with the man's permission, Karli added: "He's been told he'll need multiple surgeries. He's not in a good headspace at the moment. Karli added: "How many of us would pick up and throw away an unlit, seemingly unused firework? I am in my 30s and never knew discarded fireworks could go off like that."Apparently you have to drench them in water before touching them. I've always hated the public sale of fireworks but now more than ever it shows how unsafe they can be."said an ambulance and a response vehicle attended the scene and took a patient to Royal Liverpool University Hospital.
