Anticipating that fireworks on July 4th could cause a severe fire in dry places where it hasn't rained, many cities are canceling July 4th fireworks celebrations. While that may be "unamerican", it is smart. Here is a quote from the article:
"From Colorado to Indiana, Wyoming to Missouri, dozens of cities and towns have decided to scrap their fireworks displays — the cherished denouement of July 4 revelry — driven by parched conditions, vicious wildfires and sometimes a simple hunch that putting on a show this year might leave too much to Mother Nature’s mood."
This is a prime example of adaptation. How costly is it to sacrifice the fireworks? You can watch a youtube video instead.
