Well, there are many different safety concerns about that particular road, and one is the crowds., said Jefferson County Sheriff s Office Public Information Officer, Karlyn Tilley. So there are so many people that want to go up there to watch the fireworks. But in going up there, they are causing major traffic concerns. They also have quite a few times in the past have lit off fireworks on that mountain. And we are always in a dangerous fire situation every part of the year in Colorado. So to have anybody shooting off fireworks on a mountain is just not a good idea.
