GRFD warning of fireworks dangers with dry conditions

The 4th of July means fireworks and also extra work for first responders.

Grand Rapids Fire Marshall Ric Dokter says because this week has been so dry, they have already had a grass fire and two house fires caused by fireworks.

Dokter says the area hasn't seen conditions like this in 10 years.

He says one of the biggest mistakes people can make is thinking firecrackers or sparklers are done burning.

Dokter recommends having a bucket of water nearby and dumping everything in the water when you are done.
