Holiday Disaster

Fireworks are a big part of winter holiday celebrations, and many cities around the country have firework displays each year. It’s fun to watch the night sky light up with explosions of light. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) ten percent of fires that occur between December 30 to January 3 are caused by fireworks, with the highest number of fires occurring on New Year’s Day.
