Special effects, like gold sparks, are typically created by iron filings and charcoal. Loud bangs are produced by aluminum powder. Although setting off fireworks can be exhilarating, local first responders are asking you to attend professional fireworks shows as opposed to buying at-home-use fireworks and sparklers."Fireworks are simply too dangerous and unpredictable to be used safely by consumers,” Travis County Fire Marshal Tony Callaway said, in part, in a re...
