Fireworks are illegal in Washoe Co.

SPARKS — In a typical year, Fourth of July fireworks cause more fires in the United States than all other causes of fire combined. The Sparks Fire Department encourages everyone to enjoy the holiday safely by leaving fireworks shows to the professionals.

About 10,000 people are treated in hospital emergency rooms for fireworks-related injuries every year. About 40 percent of those injuries are to children younger than 15. More than half of emergency-room fireworks injuries are burns and the eyes are the most commonly injured body part.

Each year, fireworks cause about 25,000 fires resulting in $39 million in reported property damage.

Fireworks can be turned in to any Sparks fire station with no questions asked. The fireworks will be turned over to the Sparks Police Department to use as props for training horses.
