Fireworks Fun or Fire Risk | Fargo News

Fireworks bring joy but also serious risks—over 11,000 injuries last year, mostly from consumer fireworks, not just big shows. Burns, eye injuries, and fires are common, especially around the Fourth of July. Misuse like relighting duds or setting off near buildings is deadly. Safety experts urge water buckets, extinguishers, and strict adult supervision—especially for sparklers, which can cause severe burns. The emotional and financial toll on families and emergency services is real. This year, officials are pushing for smarter choices: follow safety rules, or skip DIY fireworks altogether. Celebrate safely—or not at all.
