Fireworks and a ball drop in NY would continue regardless of wildfires in Idaho. And whatever commitments a president made (dem or rep), the firefighting effort would not stop them, unless the event was in the fire zone.

The AU PM can host fireworks, AND commit resources to firefighting. And probably attend to other duties as well.
