## Resource

With the Fourth of July approaching and America celebrating its 250th anniversary, fireworks are everywhere—but safety experts are sounding the alarm. Many Central Texas cities, including Austin, Pflugerville, and Georgetown, ban consumer fireworks entirely. Even sparklers—seemingly harmless—burn at 3,000°F and can cause serious burns, especially for kids. Used fireworks must be soaked in water before disposal to prevent accidental fires. The safest way to enjoy the show? Skip the backyard blast and attend a professional fireworks display.
