Alabama uses more fireworks than almost any other state! We analyzed the number of fireworks imports to see where in the US has the most explosive fourth of July celebrations. Alabama imports more fireworks per person than almost any other state!
It’s about that time of year for the sky over the U.S. to start exploding again. From firecracker injuries (there were roughly 9,100 in 2018 alone!) to homemade ice cream, this holiday is definitely a favorite. Last year alone, it cost the U.S. roughly $319 million to import fireworks, as China produces 90% of fireworks that are made worldwide. We bet you’re just bursting with excitement to find out which states use the most fireworks.
