Fireworks have no place in our wildlands. Plain and simple, even consumer fireworks are dangerous. Sparklers, which may seem child-safe, burn as hot as 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit and can cause third-degree burns. Despite the dangers of fireworks, few people understand the associated risks - devastating burns, other injuries, wildfires, and even death. We all play a role in safety. Learn more about firework safety from the National Fire Protection Association.
