As Wildfires Rage and Air Quality Drops, U.S. Cities Turn to Drones Over Fireworks

  • Some cities are canceling Fourth of July fireworks shows and replacing them with drone light displays due to environmental concerns and fire danger.
  • Air quality is a major concern, as fireworks pollute the air and wildfires are causing poor air quality and smoke across much of the U.S. and Canada.
  • Drone shows offer an exciting alternative to fireworks that reduces health and safety risks.
  • Salt Lake City, Boulder, North Lake Tahoe and other cities prone to wildfires have swapped fireworks for drones.
  • While some communities have embraced the switch, the future of drone shows versus fireworks remains uncertain.
