Although fireworks are illegal in Georgia unless one has a permit, there is still danger in using the “legal” sparklers and other novelties. Recent rain has dampened some areas a bit, but Bulloch and surrounding counties are still far below the average rainfall, and dry conditions combined with carelessness could lead to unexpected fires and injuries, said Bulloch County Public Safety Director Ted Wynn. According to information from Joseph M. Still Burn Centers, Inc., more fires are reported on July 4 than any other day of the year.
