We have a fire going in the high country right now. There were a bunch of fireworks displays that got cancelled because of the dry weather. I know it must be a lot worse in Phoenix, but it's still something that concerns us. People just don't put two and two together. There is a reason fireworks are banned, and it isn't just to keep people from blowing off their hands.
