## Resource

This year’s Fourth of July fireworks on the National Mall are turning into a historic spectacle — bigger, longer, and hotter than ever before. Organizers aim to break the Guinness World Record with over 850,000 fireworks, double the usual showtime, and a late-night start — all timed for America’s 250th anniversary. But with temps soaring past 100 degrees, strict rules (no coolers, no chairs, just one water bottle), and safety concerns, officials are urging families with kids to stay home. It’s not just about the numbers — it’s about the grandeur, but the heat and logistics might make this “rally” more headache than holiday for many.
