\"\"<\/a>Fargo\u00a0\u00a0 A man was severely injured when a firecracker went off in his hand outside a downtown Fargo bar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fargo police report, crews were called to the 600 block of NP Avenue, near the No Bull restaurant about 8:11 p.m. Tuesday, July 4, 2017\u00a0 for the report of a fireworks incident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Officers say a 46-year-old man found a firework in the parking lot located to the west of the restaurant, picked it up and lit it.<\/p>\n

It exploded in his hands, causing injuries to both hands and significant injuries to his left.<\/p>\n

A number of customers inside No Bull came to the man\u2019s assistance after the incident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Authorities say fireworks were the cause for a string of fires in the Fargo area during the July 4th holiday.<\/p>\n

West Fargo Assistant Fire Chief Rory Jorgensen says fire calls started coming in to his department around 9 p.m. Tuesday, including two dumpster fires, several grass fires and a house fire.<\/p>\n

Jorgensen says the homeowner had gathered up spent fireworks and thought the material was out when he put it in a garbage can next to the house.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the West Fargo house fire call, West Fargo crews were called out to assist in fighting a house fire south of Fargo. Authorities say two possible sources for the fire will be investigated, including a possible lightning strike and spent fireworks put in a garbage can.<\/p>\n
