Summary
Ten years after the Table Rock Fire—caused by an illegal firework—former Boise Fire Chief Dennis Doan is still pushing for Idaho to ban the sale of dangerous aerial fireworks. He calls the current law, which requires buyers to sign waivers promising to take fireworks out of state, absurd, comparing it to letting kids buy alcohol with a “don’t drink it” promise. Law enforcement officials say the loophole leads to chaos every Fourth of July. Despite past efforts at the state capitol, which stalled due to industry pushback, Doan insists public pressure is the only way to force legislative change. Now Ada County Sheriff Matt Clifford is echoing the call, stressing that lawmakers hold the power to end this dangerous loophole. Until Idahoans demand action, the risk of devastating fires remains—and firefighters will keep responding, but real change must come from the people.
