Too much at stake : Idaho scientists, fire experts urge skipping at-home July 4 fireworks Nicole Blanchard and Sophia Charan, The Idaho Statesman
Jul. 1 Several Idaho researchers have joined fire scientists from across the country to ask people to avoid using fireworks this Fourth of July amid widespread drought and heightened concerns about wildfire risk. Their plea comes at the same time that Idaho fire management agencies issued a similar request, amid a worsening wildfire outlook for Idaho.
Moji Sadegh, an assistant professor of civil engineering, was one of four Boise State University scientists who signed an open letter with more than 100 experts urging the public not to use fireworks of any kind.
