Fireworks are a popular activity during the 4th of July holiday, but can also create dangerous fire hazards, not only among the Landmarks and surrounding habitats, but to homes, people, pets and more. Human-caused wildfires are one of the most common types of wildfires and even the smallest firework can be a threat to local wildlands. For example, a simple Sparkler can exceed temperatures up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot enough to melt metal and can quickly ignite nearby brush. All fireworks, including “safe and sane” fireworks, are prohibited in County parks.
