MEDIA INVITED | A Powerful Story of Survival and Sparkler Safety - Tomorrow is the big day!

We're honored to release a powerful new documentary that tells the incredible story of Ginger Peters—a local woman whose life was forever changed by a sparkler accident.

You'll also see something truly special as we recognize the firefighters, EMS crews, burn center staff, and others whose teamwork and quick actions helped save Ginger's life.

With the Fourth of July just around the corner, Ginger's story is an important reminder that sparklers aren't as harmless as they seem. They burn at over 2,000 degrees and can cause devastating injuries in just seconds.

If you're a member of the media, we hope you'll join us!

Tuesday, June 30 | 11:00 a.m. | Cary Fire Station #9, 1427 Walnut Street, Cary

Come see the documentary, hear Ginger's inspiring story, and help us spread an important message that could save a life this Independence Day. And remember this 4th: Leave the fireworks to the professionals.
