At least twice a year, it is a big deal on July 4th. And that's not counting numerous forest fires that were started by fireworks.

And I mean, the EV thing just seems like a manufactured concern anyway. Walking around I'm very happy when I walk near an EV and don't breathe in exhaust. EV fires are remarkable because that's the only time their presence causes lung problems, while gas vehicles cause lung problems under normal operation.

what about forest fires not started by fireworks? we have forest fires every year in summer and we do fireworks in Europe (as in most of the world) only on NYE, so great idea, we should ban forests, they support air polution by burning every year

gas vehicles with modern filters hardly produce any (lung) problems under normal operation
