At least 2 Metro children are at Children's Mercy Hospital in KC-MO after suffering fireworks injuries.
The most seriously-injured child was a 10 to 11-year-old female who reportedly had fireworks blow up in her face at a Platte City MO home.
A medical helicopter based in St. Joseph flew the child with burns to her face- hands and chest as well as breathing problems and a possible eye injury to Children's in critical condition.
While the Platte City child was being treated- an Excelsior Springs MO EMS unit was transfering another child from their medical center's E-R to Children's Mercy.
That child was "a 5-year-old male who had fireworks explode in his face."
His injuries were less extensive than the girl's- and his condition was non life-threatening.
