Let's have a fun, safe, trouble free 4th of July season. Here are a handful of resources for Las Vegas residents and visitors when it comes to fireworks.

I was suprised to learn that even the standard sparkler was as dangerous as it is:
"The DPS Fire Marshal Division advises that although sparklers are sometimes
thought of as innocent, they heat to temperatures of 1800ºF or more within
seconds. Before handing sparklers to children, think of the average baking
temperature of an oven, then multiply by 5 or even 6."

We should all take precaution and watch out for the youth this season. Have a fun and safe 4th.
