Cheyenne Fire Rescue Urges Fireworks Safety
Cheyenne Fire Rescue is reminding those planning to shoot off fireworks this Fourth of July to do so with extreme caution.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, fireworks injure more than 13,000 people and cause roughly $20 million in property damage each year. We want everyone in Cheyenne to be safe this Fourth of July, said Byron Mathews with CFR. The best way to stay safe is to attend a public fireworks display put on by professionals.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) â Many Americans aching for normalcy as pandemic restrictions end are looking forward to traditional Fourth of July fireworks. But with a historic drought in the U.S. West and fears of another devastating wildfire season, officials are canceling displays, passing bans on setting off fireworks or begging for caution.
Fireworks already have caused a few small wildfires, including one started by a child in northern Utah and another in central California. Last year, a pyrotechnic device designed for a babyâs gender reveal celebration sparked a California blaze that killed a firefighter during a U.S. wildfire season that scorched the second-highest amount of land in nearly 40 years.
