Across the nation, Fourth of July is marked by friends and families gathering to watch firework displays – or in some cases, set off their own light shows. Under Arizona law, only some types of fireworks can be legally used and sold during certain times of the year. But some illegal fireworks still make their way into the sky, and it's sparked a debate between Valley residents on what the law should be.
This week's episode of Valley 101, a podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, explores firework regulations in Arizona and the differing perspectives residents hold on the devices, as well as safety tips and injury prevention.
