As the July 4 weekend nears, experts are reminding people that fireworks are illegal in Connecticut, with the exception of sparklers and fountains.

Eight people died in fireworks-related incidents last year.

Thousands of others were hurt.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says 67 percent of fireworks injuries happened in the weeks around July 4.
