In Dublin, California, the sale of 'safe and sane' fireworks has begun, providing a lucrative fundraising avenue for community and sports organizations. While residents like Ramprasad Prabhakar excitedly prepare for Fourth of July celebrations, the risk associated with illegal fireworks looms large due to dry conditions in the Bay Area. Fire officials underscore the increase in fire-related emergencies during this period, cautioning against the use of illegal rockets and aerial displays, which pose serious dangers despite the allure they hold for celebrants.
Fireworks are illegal in the Bay Area, except for safe and sane fireworks, which are a category of fireworks that stay close to the ground.
When asked what his favorite fireworks are, Prabhkar's young son answered: 'The ones that go into the air and then explode.' Those are always a fan favorite -- and are illegal and a big threat.
