@Anarkat hey so i downloaded this data and i'm literally not getting anything like this chart when i plot it myself
fireworks by raw fire count is basically nothing, and fireworks by percentage of total fires by that cause over the year peaks only slightly higher than lightning. i'm going to say your post is highly exaggerated

@Anarkat like, yeah it's a problem that 58% of fireworks fires occur during this one week (i didn't check that figure, let's assume it's true) but consider that by actual total number of fires, there is over 10x more arson for example

@haskal @Anarkat@hackers.town yeah rather misleading (mis)infographic it seems, and of course when there's more fireworks used, there will be more fires caused by them...
