MIAMI - The Broward Sheriff's Office is investigating how a 6-year-old boy lost his hand after a fireworks explosion in Deerfield Beach Tuesday morning.

Officials said they responded to a home located at 600 NW 1st Terrace just after 10 a.m. and found a boy with a "complete hand amputation."

CBS News Miami has learned the incident happened in the backyard of the home.

The boy's father tells CBS News Miami that Kyrie Herman lost his left hand during the explosion.
