The Canadian Press reports Alberta is considering fire code changes that could require municipalities to ban or tightly regulate consumer fireworks like Roman candles and bottle rockets. The move aims to reduce injuries and fires but industry leaders warn bans could push sales underground and curb celebrations. Dominique Allen of the Canadian National Fireworks Association warns enforcement gaps may arise if legal fireworks are banned.
