If your community is one of the 296 in California that allow the sale and use of state-approved fireworks for the Fourth of July, the most frequently asked questions at those pyro-peddling pop-ups in town will no doubt be, “What’s new?” “What’s good?” and “How much?”

As only nonprofits can legally sell fireworks in California, chances are the hard-working, perspiring volunteers inside each booth haven’t seen the new products to knowledgeably respond to all the FAQs. It’s even less likely they know what the competition is selling. Their focus over the days leading up to America’s 247th birthday isn’t to be pyro proficient, but raise funds to send more kids to bible camp or provide eyeglasses to the underprivileged or subsidize new uniforms for a youth sports team.
