COUDERSPORT -- A Northern Tier man is charged with violating Pennsylvania's fireworks law.
     Pennsylvania State Police say 18-year-old Wallace Eaton of Ulysses threw a firework out of the car he was a passenger in Saturday night.  The firework struck the emergency entrance of Charles Cole Memorial Hospital in Coudersport.
     Under Pennsylvania law, consumer fireworks can be sold only to in-state residents possessing a permit issued by their local government, or residents of other states who provide identification.
