INDIANOLA, Wash. (AP) — Kitsap County firefighters don’t know exactly what kind of fireworks injured a man on an Indianola beach, but they think it was an aerial shell or display mortar.

North Kitsap Fire and Rescue says the injuries to the 25-year-old Monday night were serious enough for him to be airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

The firework apparently exploded in his hand.
