According to the Kaua’i Fire Department, there was just one fireworks-related incident this year, and only eight fireworks permits issued.
A brush fire in Koloa, which personnel responded to around 6 p.m., was put out in a matter of minutes, said Battalion Chief Ernest Moniz.
“For the Fourth of July, usually it’s a slow time because people usually go to shows or other events,” said Inspector David Bukoski.
Fireworks permits were first required for 2001 New Year’s celebrations. With a permit, a person can purchase up to 5,000 firecrackers. In 2001, 21 permits were issued.
