Independence Day is always filled with festivities, and one of the many 4th of July traditions that always hold true is fireworks.

A young girl was killed after a fireworks mishap on the Fourth of July in Buena Park, authorities said. In a news release, the Buena Park Police Department said officers responded to the 8000 block of Cornflower Circle after seeing large quantities of fireworks at about 9:45 p.
