With Fourth of July just around the corner, Americans are preparing to celebrate patriotism and freedom across the country. We all know how people celebrate this wonderful holiday, of course -- either by attending a fireworks display, or by creating one themselves.
Fireworks are definitely a great way for friends and family to join together in celebration of our country, but before the adventurous among us attempt to launch their own fireworks, please be aware of the regulations in your state regarding types of fireworks allowed and where you can set them off. Information regarding state laws is available through the American Pyrotechnics Association. Keep in mind that public lands such as national parks and national forests almost certainly have their own restrictions on fireworks. In addition, the Mother Nature Network recently posted an interesting article on the potential environmental hazards of fireworks.
Have fun, and stay safe -- Happy Independence Day!
