Wildfire and Fireworks?

Question

Dont you think with all the dry weather in Southeast Va. people should set off fireworks, fireworks can start more wildfires and add to our already smoky and fiery weather. The NWS need to warn people dont they?

Answer 1

The NWS does issue fire danger warnings.  In all the cities I've seen, fire departments stand by for fireworks displays to extinguish any spot fires that may be started before they can grow into wildfires.  Currently there are no NWS fire hazard warnings anywhere in the nation.
