Fairfield man injured in fireworks explosion had a Vette in his driveway
Does anybody know this man?
A 42-year-old California man is severely burned and is facing life-threatning injures Wednesday after an explosion occurred while he was assembling fireworks at his home.
Officers found 42-year-old Anthony Stewart, from Fairfield, Calif., with severe burns across his body.
Police say 911 callers in Fairfield reported a loud explosion along Catlin Drive, off of E. Tabor Avenue, just after 5 p.m. Wednesday. They also reported that a man was lying on the ground in front of the house.

He's lucky to be alive (For now). Similar to the incident in San Francisco years ago on 19th Ave. where an idiot was making M1000s in his garage when a spark caused them to go off. The explosions not only blew him through the downstairs garage wall but knocked the house off of its foundation too. He lived but was in a lot of pain for a long time.

Mixed feeling here. On one hand I feel bad for his suffering but on the other he had no business fooling around and my dog is happy about one less fool blowing off explosives.
In a suburb setting the noise really makes house hold pets go crazy scared.
Not looking forward to the 4th at all for fear of my older dog's well being.

Why go to the trouble of making them when you can buy them pretty much anywhere right now (Chinatown you just practically call ahead for an order and go pick it up). Mortars, M1000's huge star-bursts etc..
I love big loud explosions, always have since I was a little kid growing up in Texas where all that was legal and still is.
Packing your own fireworks isnt rocket science, but to have it blow up while making it is pure stupidity not knowing what you are doing (and its so simple).
This year we are gonna set off so much stuff its gonna sound like a mortar barrage going on.
But a Corvette in the driveway, OMG the whole Vette community must be stunned a Vette owner was doing this.

Everything here is illegal, makes it citizens criminals, is expensive with stupid laws to get revenue and your $$$$$ It always has been. You don't have the freedoms that you have in Texas. We are losing alot of businesses here that leave the Republik and go to Texas. They use this all in the name of of public safety well truth is it's a deception for revenue collectors which will cost you alot more $$$ to live and do business here.
Unfortunately I grew up here and found the the hard way is how I know better now.
