However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.
Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.

Hastings District Council said an independent report had prompted it to take "urgent action" to remove the dangerous section of the track, located on the top 500 metres.
The report said that in its current state, the track, which Craggy Range Winery carved last year, could result in serious injury, or loss of life as a result of retaining wall collapse, falling rocks and slips.
The work to remove it would begin next week, at an estimated cost of between $50,000 and $60,000, the council said. It was expected to take up to a week to complete. Read more here
