I grew up with them, that was my favorite holiday for years. I can't recall a single fire in our town attributable to fireworks but I'm sure that there were some. They probably were just not notable. That does not mean that there was not property damage, mostly unintentional,...... mostly.
I remember more personal injury reports. Most small, some with devastating loss. If I didn't have a fuse burn(s) it was not a good holiday. I had little respect for the small stuff but was taught to have great respect for the big stuff.
I've now out grown that. Or maybe it's that the fun I experience with explosives has just changed.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
