Drought Watch Sparks Fire Safety Alert | Providence News

Rhode Island’s first drought watch in two decades is turning Fourth of July fireworks into a fire hazard—dry brush, gusty winds, and careless disposal could spark dangerous wildfires.

While ground sparklers are legal, aerial fireworks? Leave those to the pros—safer, smarter, and way more spectacular to watch. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
