The Utah Legislature voted for the new "cake" fireworks because they go  up hot but  come down cool.
They have a stable base so they don't fall  over. They  were backed by several fire marshals.
We now have at least  two fires started by  illegal fireworks. One in Ogden started a bush  fire and one in South  Jordan took out a garage and burned two people.  The fire for Red Butte  canyon was caused by a campfire. 
So the question: Why do  people in Utah still buy  and use the illegal fireworks?
