Woman Lights Firecracker Instead Of Candle - Blows Off Four Fingers

<snip>

TAMPA, Fla. -- A firecracker mistake cost a Tampa woman four of her fingers.

Fire officials say the 48-year-old woman was trying to light her home when the power was out and reached for what she thought was a candle. But once she lit it, fire officials say she blew off four fingers because it was a firecracker and not a candle.

The unidentified woman was taken to the hospital.
