With grilling and warm weather, it's inevitable this Fourth of July to also hear the scream of fireworks in the air. The State Fire Marshall's office is reminding Illinois residents most commercial fireworks are illegal in the state. Spokeswoman Janauri Smith says novelty fireworks are legal, but can still be dangerous. Sparklers burn at 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. Smith says leave the big fireworks to the professionals. She says last Fourth of July, 103 injuries were caused by illegal fireworks. She says illegal fireworks can also cause serious injury or property damage.
