      Technically it just said he was working at the tent. It didn't say he lit one off while in the tent. I assume they took it outside. Still dumb to light while holding it but so many of us have been guilty of that.

      I recall having these "mighty mites" that had ridiculously fast fuses when I was like 14 or so. I'm kind of surprised my friends and I kept all our fingers with how many we threw. They packed more punch than black cats, but maybe they wouldn't blow off fingers like a cherry bomb or artillery shell. Had one blow up in my hand when I brought it up near my ear to throw it, lol. It only left a black mark and stung a bit (hand and ear), but I knew not to hold them too tight.

Since then, I haven't bought another firework because that could happen again, even if I am living alone.
