Like so many things now days, they have just taken in over the top. A new successful tv show comes on and within a few months there is a dozen just like it. Someone spends $300 on fireworks and the next guy feels he has to spend $600 and the next $750, so on and so on. Just had a man, locally here, have a couple of fingers blown off by his altering of firework to make it bigger and louder. Last I heard his fingers were on ice until they figured out if they can be re-attached. I'm surprised with amount of fireworks sold to untrained, careless individuals that there are not more accidents. We were fortunate to have had recent rains to lessen the fire hazard.
