Why don't firefighters teach people the proper methods of using fireworks soaking the grass before you light them off keeping sprinklers going there are safe practices to use and if you were to teach people then it would help reduce it but just banning stuff isn't helping anything because people are going to keep doing it whether you ban it or not so shouldn't we be focused on educating people the proper and safe way to use fireworks?
