Lit off a bunch for my grandkids. It was a real battle keeping them back a safe distance.
I took the firecrackers away from my son this year. At 15 we figured he was smart enough not to need adult supervision, then we go outside and find him and all his friends running around stuffing them into marshmallows and having a splatter war chucking them at each other.
Not long into the event, a rocket went into the huge evergreen tree in his front yard and started it on fire........
That was it, I swore off all pyrotechnics......
Oh, I just remembered, about 4 years ago some punks tried to blow up my custom made wood mailbox by stuffing an explosive in it. Fortnately, all it did was blow off the front door which I had to rebuild.......
