fireworks

If you planning on heading to the Lawton Freedom Festival this weekend at Elmer Thomas Park, but you still want to buy your own fireworks, be careful not to set them off in Lawton, at Lake Lawtonka or at Lake Ellsworth.

I kept hearing all this conflicting information about where you can and where you can NOT light fireworks in or around the Lawton area so I went right to the city to ask and this is what I found out.

Fireworks are as much a part of July Fourth as barbecues, parades and red, white and blue, but have you ever stopped to think what makes them flare up in the first place?

A Fourth of July fireworks celebration has left more than two dozen people injured in Simi Valley, California.

Nighttime travel in Canada. Never know what is going to pop out of the woods. Always drive with caution!

If your city didn’t make it, don’t worry — we’re sure it’s just as good.

At the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Qatar, Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang used microchip-controlled explosives to make amazing patterns in the sky. It’s the coolest (and only) example of daytime fireworks we’ve ever seen.
